Matt Stanton’s “Fluff: Mess Up” produced much disagreement from our Year 3/4 Book Club as part of their Shadow Judging of the Younger Reader Category. In this book the two main characters talk A LOT about sitting around and drinking banana smoothies. Of course, this led to a very in depth discussion of favourite smoothie flavours further leading to a Smoothie Making Challenge and Taste Test.
Students provided their favourite recipes (thanks parents!) and we taste tested each, ranking them from 1-5. The overall winner was Chris’s delicious Troppo Smoothie:
½ ripe banana
½ cup of mango
½ cup strawberries
3 tablespoons of honey
3 tablespoons of yoghurt
1 cup milk
Scoop of ice-cream
PS. The verdict on the book was also EXCELLENT!.
