Don't Distract Me, I'm Cooking.

One bustling day, our three friends — Drake, Robin and Doi — returned back home. They've had quite an adventure, as the festival they visited was indeed restless. The three of them were content, though. “Woah!” Robin exclaimed, as if he just ran the marathon. “I've never had this fiesta in my entire life.” Doi couldn't help but nod in agreement, “Yeah, this was indeed tiring. But it also was fun, wasn't it?” As the two boys were having a talk about what happened recently, Drake came up with an idea. “I think, we deserve something chill to eat, or drink,” he spoke, dissolving his long red hair. “What do you two say?” Robin and Doi's eyes lit up with a hint of excitement, they nodded in agreement with their friend. “Yeah, Drake,” Robin replied, “let's have some good nourishin' meal for us!” Drake laughed at Robin's enthusiasm, “Good to hear! So, any suggestions?” Doi scratched his head, also tousling his short messy blue hair. “Why don't we have smoothies?” he suggested. “It can be both tasty and chill, and I would've wanted to have some neat drinks. I would like to have the orange one.” Robin raised his hand quickly, “Make mine red! And don't ask why, just make my smoothie red!” Drake couldn't help but laugh and nod, “Okay, okay, got it! Well, I'll try the one with… peaches, a cucumber, some spinach and some ginger.” Drake, always up for a culinary adventure, took charge of the smoothie-making process. He gathered the necessary ingredients from the kitchen, a mischievous grin forming on his face as he imagined himself as the host of a cooking TV show. “Alright, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to our show!” Drake announced dramatically, as he placed a ripe orange on the kitchen counter. “Today, we have a special request from the one and only Doi Soan for an orange smoothie packed with all the goodness you can imagine.” Drake peeled the orange with precision, carefully removing the zest before squeezing the juice into a blender. “Freshly squeezed orange juice, folks! Can't beat the natural sweetness of this fruit,” Robin commented, winking at the camera, pretending it was there to capture all the action. Doi watched with eager anticipation, his eyes fixed on the orange liquid swirling in the blender. “I can already taste the orange goodness,” he commented with a delighted smile. “This is going to be amazing!” Drake proceeded to add a handful of juicy carrots to the orange juice. “Carrots for a vibrant color and added nutrients. Can't forget about the health benefits!” He chuckled as he threw in the peeled apricots, oat milk, and eight halves of a walnut. “Doi, my boy, you've got quite a unique taste,” Robin remarked while Drake was blending the mixture to a velvety consistency. “But I have no doubt this combination will result in a chillin' masterpiece.” As the blender whirred, Robin eagerly turned his attention to Drake, unable to contain his excitement. “And now, for the red delight for Robin Green! Prepare yourselves for flavor explosion!” Drake turned his attention to Robin as well, who had an infectious enthusiasm for everything he did. He admired the passion in his friend's eyes as he prepared the ingredients for the cherry smoothie. “Cherries go first! Our star ingredient, after all,” Drake exclaimed, showcasing a bowl of plump, ruby-red cherries. “These little bursts of sweetness will be the heart and soul of Robin's smoothie.” He placed the cherries in the blender, adding almond milk for a creamy texture. “Robin, this one's for you. The almond milk will bring a nutty undertone to complement the cherries.” Robin eagerly tasted the mixture, nodding his head in approval. “Mmm, that's exactly what I wanted! The combination of cherry and almond is like a match made in chillin' smoothie heaven.” Drake grinned, feeling a sense of accomplishment as he picked up a handful of almonds. “To really elevate the flavor profile, we'll add some crushed almonds and a generous drizzle of honey. And let's not forget the ice for that refreshing chill factor.” With a flick of a switch, the blender roared to life, expertly blending the ingredients into a vibrant, crimson concoction. Drake poured the smoothies into tall glasses and garnished them for a final touch. “Doi, here's your orange masterpiece, complete with a sprinkle of vanilla sugar and also a drizzle of honey,” Drake proclaimed, placing a glass in front of Doi. Doi eagerly took a sip and savored the delightful combination of flavors. “The sweetness of the orange, the earthiness of the carrots, and the richness of the walnut…” he said, pointing at the ingredient remains. “It's a harmonious blend!” Drake turned his attention to Robin, placing his red smoothie in front of him. “Robin, brace yourself for the ultimate cherry delight, garnished with crushed almonds and a cherry on top!” Robin took a sip of the vibrant drink, a look of sheer bliss crossing his face. “Oh, this is pure bliss! The tanginess of the cherries, the creaminess of the almond milk, and the crunch of the almonds… It's a party in my mouth!” Drake stepped back, admiring his handiwork and the joy on his friends' faces. “Mission accomplished, my friends! We've successfully conquered the festival fatigue with these scrumptious and refreshing smoothies. Cheers to friendship, adventure, and the perfect blend of flavors!” Robin clinked their glasses together, toasting to their unforgettable day and the delightful treats they had created. With satisfied smiles, they sipped their smoothies, relishing in the flavors and the memories of their bustling adventure. Drake wiped his hands, a satisfied grin on his face. “Last but not least, it's time for my own smoothie masterpiece.” He gathered the freshest peaches, a crisp cucumber, and a handful of green spinach leaves, showcasing them to Robin and Doi, who were still sipping their drinks. “After a long day, it's all about refreshing the senses,” Drake explained. “This combination may sound unconventional, but trust me, friends, it's a game-changer!” He carefully peeled and sliced the peaches, adding them to the blender along with the crunchy cucumber and nutritious spinach. To give it an extra kick, Drake grated in a hint of ginger for that delightful zing. “And here comes the finishing touch,” Drake remarked, pouring a drizzle of honey into the mix. “Nature's golden gift to balance the flavors.” Drake pressed the blending button, watching as the ingredients merged into a vibrant green elixir. The scent of peach and ginger filled the air as he poured the smoothie into a glass, garnishing it with a peach slice. “Voilà! A peachy, green creation for the adventurer's soul,” Drake declared, holding up the glass to the imaginary camera. “Light, refreshing, and the perfect way to end a bustling day.” With a flourish, Robin took Doi's smoothie, and lined up the three glasses on the kitchen counter, showcasing the variety of colors and flavors. “And there ya have it, folks! Three unique smoothies crafted with creativity. Cheers to good nourishin' meals!” As the three of them began sipping their drinks, they couldn't help but be amazed at how the flavors complemented each other. Doi's orange smoothie was a burst of citrusy sweetness, with the earthy undertones of carrots and the richness of walnuts adding depth. Robin's cherry smoothie was a tangy delight, with the almond milk providing a creamy balance. The crushed almonds added a pleasant crunch, while the drizzle of honey enhanced the natural sweetness of the cherries. Drake's peach and green smoothie was a refreshing surprise. The combination of peaches, cucumber, and spinach created a light, invigorating blend, while the hint of ginger added a subtle kick. The drizzle of honey brought a touch of sweetness that tied it all together. As they continued sipping their smoothies, the three friends exchanged stories and laughter, reliving the memorable moments of their bustling adventure. The fatigue from the festival melted away, replaced by a sense of contentment and camaraderie. Their smoothies not only nourished their bodies but also symbolized the bond they shared. Each smoothie was a reflection of their friendship, a harmonious blend of diverse flavors coming together to create something truly special. And so, as they enjoyed their delicious drinks, Drake, Robin, and Doi cherished the simple pleasure of being in each other's company, knowing that no matter where their adventures took them, they would always have these cherished memories and the taste of their unique smoothies to remind them of their incredible day.
