\u201cHello, everyone and welcome to In the Kitchen with Chef Mac.<\/em> I\u2019m your host, Chef Mac. Don\u2019t worry about the fancy chef part. You can still call me Mac. Some of you may remember me when I did a guest spot last month and since then they\u2019ve given me my own show! I\u2019m super excited to be here so that we can make another delicious recipe together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday we\u2019re going to make a yummy breakfast treat. Blueberry pancake smoothies! Remember, kids, have your parents or someone there to help with anything that you need. Kitchen accidents are no joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, the first thing we\u2019re going to do is get all of our ingredients together. Did you know that there\u2019s a special phrase for that? My good friend, Chef Tony, recently taught me about it. The phrase is mise en place. It\u2019s French and means \u201cgathering!\u201d So, we\u2019re going to gather all of our ingredients and put them wherever you\u2019re cooking. For me, that\u2019s on my counter. For you that may be a table or a counter or somewhere else. Let\u2019s start now! I\u2019m going to show you everything that you\u2019ll need and then you can get all of them and lay them out on your kitchen counter. Don\u2019t forget that you need a blender and two cups for this recipe. Ready? Let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup unsweetened almond milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 medium banana<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd cup frozen unsweetened blueberries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bc cup instant plain oatmeal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon maple syrup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo you know what the best part of this recipe is? There\u2019s no cutting or chopping involved. Now that you have your ingredients, make sure that you have everything measured out. Then, peel your banana. This recipe does not call for banana peel, so go ahead and throw it away. If your family has a compost bin, banana peels are perfect to throw into that! Then, make sure that your blender is turned off and plugged in. Once those things are done, take off the top of your blender and add in all of the ingredients. That\u2019s right, all of them! Just dump them right in. Carefully put the lid back onto your blender. If it\u2019s too high for you, have a parent or older sibling help you out. Now comes the fun part! You\u2019re going to press the blend button and watch it spin around until it\u2019s totally smooth. Once it\u2019s nice and smooth, if you can, carefully remove container from the blender, take off the lid and pour it into two different cups. That\u2019s right! This will serve two people! I think I\u2019m going to share mine with my best friend, Zeus. Let me know who you share yours with by commenting on our recipe page! I can\u2019t wait to hear from all of you. Make sure that you have your parents\u2019 permission to post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s it for today. If you\u2019d like to change up your smoothies, try different types of frozen fruit. Strawberries are also really good. I think next time I\u2019m going to try mango and pineapple! Make sure you tune in next episode when we\u2019ll be making raspberry ice cream in a bag with the help of our friend Chef Adora! I can\u2019t wait for all of you to meet her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
