Iron Chef - Battle Smoothie

We watch a lot of foodnetwork shows around our house. The boys love Iron Chef so they wanted to do a Iron Chef competition. It was battle Smoothie. Scott was the chairman and went through the whole thing. Parker (aka A.J. Johnson) was the iron chef that Owen (aka Jonathan Rhino) chose to battle. The secret ingredients were frozen berries, kiwi and ground flax seed. I was Owen's assistant but Parker did everything himself. They could use anything they wanted and had 30 mins to finish.

Owen's smoothie had kiwi, frozen berries, banana, apple, apple sauce, oj, milk, 3 kinds of yogurt, flax, chocolate chips, crasins and mini marshmellows.

Parker's smoothie had kiwi, frozen berries, flax seed, apple sauce, 3 kinds of yogurt, oj, milk, gooey marshmellows (he put some marshmellows in the microwave ), and a spoonful of peanut butter swirled in at the end to finish it. I was skeptical about the peanut butter but it actually tasted pretty good.

Scott and Addie were the judges and were judged on taste, originality, and presentation. Shockingly they tied! They kids loved it and are already asking for a rematch!
