I\'d like to include some food and cooking vocabulary in this episode.

And with a mini-story, you will improve your English fluency.
You\\u2019ll see, it\\u2019s like having a conversation with another person.
You know, when I enter the kitchen, my first thought is\\u2026 Why am I here? Yeah. I\'m hungry. That\'s why. Now I remember. :)
I open the refrigerator and start scanning for some delicious food.
Since I don\'t buy ready-made food, I usually stare at the fridge for some minutes until it starts beeping. Then I close it and open it again to continue scanning.
And I\'m not saying my refrigerator isn\'t well organized; it\'s just that I\'m looking for something I can prepare in 1 minute, preferably even less.
Many times, I end up making a green smoothie. That\'s a fast and easy way of getting all the needed nutrients. And plus, smoothies are delicious.
By the way, a smoothie is a thick drink that you can make using fruits, vegetables, greens, seeds, milk, ice, etc.
As I said earlier, I typically end up making a green smoothie. Don\'t panic. It\'s green but really yummy.
I add some water or milk, one avocado, 1/2 cup of pineapple, 1/2 frozen banana, 2 cups of spinach, and 1/2 cup of ice cubes. I put it at speed 10 for 45 seconds, and the smoothie is ready. Delicious!
In case you were wondering, I use a Vitamix blender to prepare my smoothies.
And I don\'t use it only for that.\\xa0 I also make frozen desserts with it, soups, I can make flours with it, almond milk, batters, dough, nut butter, juices, dips, etc. It\'s very versatile.
