In earlier experiments we already replaced the water in Queal with varying success. Queal Multivitamin was ok, Queal Alcohol was a surprising great mix, and with Milk it wasn’t too bad. This week we turn our attention to one of the most popular breakfast ingredients: Yoghurt. Spoiler alert, this wasn’t the best mix ever.

You will need

• One 1/3rd a bag of your favourite Queal
• Yoghurt (we used 0% fat)

Instructions

1. Mix your Queal with 300+ ml of yoghurt in a blender
2. Serve in bowl
3. Enjoy

Results

Nope, this is not something you would want to do on a regular basis. The sourness of the yoghurt doesn’t mix very well with the sweet taste of Queal. Although you can still taste your specific flavour of Queal, it’s offset by the taste of yoghurt.

You are better off when you stick with Milk or Multivitamin Drink when you decide you need some extra flavour and/or carbs. Of course, our Tinkering Thursdays are here to test every possible way you can make Queal, some of them just turn out not to be so tasty.

Last week we experimented with yoghurt, but it didn’t taste that great as the sour taste of the yoghurt clashed with the sweet taste of Queal. This week we have decided to sweeten it up with some fresh fruits, namely pineapple. The fruit is not only packed with Vitamin C, but also contains Bromelain, an enzyme which is excellent for digestion.

Fun Fact: Did you know one pineapple plant produces only one pineapple every 2 years?

You will need

• Pineapple
• 1/3rd bag of Queal + oil
• Water

Instructions

1. Peel the fruit.
2. Cut the pineapple into small chunks.
3. Place your favourite Queal, oil, 300ml of water and the fruit in a blender.
4. Blend.
5. Serve and enjoy!

Results

We used Funky Forest Fruit to mix with pineapple and it tastes great! The fruit brings about a bit more sour, but still sweet and fresh taste. You can choose how much of the pineapple you want to add, depending on your preferences.  A little tip, if you’re feeling lazy you can always buy canned pineapple slices and use instead of the fresh fruit.

After last week’s success with pineapple, we decided to try adding some coconut to our Queal. Coconuts contain a lot of energy and saturated fats, so when in need of extra energy, try Queal mixed with a coconut. The hardest part of this experiment was opening the fruit, we had to spend some time on it and in the end our knife broke. We hope that you will me more successful with opening it then us!

Fun Fact: Coconut water can be a substitute for blood plasma because the high level of sugar and other salts make it possible to add the water to the bloodstream, alike how an IV solution works in modern medicine. Coconut water was known to be used during World War II in tropical areas for emergency transfusions.

You will need

• Coconut
• 1/3rd bag of Queal + oil
• Water

Instructions

1. Make a hole in the softest spot of the coconut and drain it.
2. Open the coconut and cut it into small chunks.
3. Place your favourite Queal, oil, 300ml of water, coconut juice and coconut pieces into the blender.
4. Blend.
5. Serve and enjoy!

Results

Queal mixed with coconut tastes good, but it turned out a bit chunky. The juice blended well with Queal, but some of the hard pieces did not blend properly.  The coconut adds a nice twist to Queal, so we’d recommend for you to try it too. Depending on your preference, you can add just fresh coconut juice, or just pieces and let us know what you think.

This week we present to you savoury Pizza Queal! Yes, thats right, we mixed our unflavoured variant of the shake together with pizza spice. You want to know how that turned out? Read below or check out our video.

Fun Fact: Most would never guess it, but pizza originally started off as a dish for poor people, sold in the streets and not a food for upper-class people.

You will need

• Pizza Spice
• 1/3rd bag of Queal + oil
• Water

Instructions

1. Place Queal in Qontrol, oil and 300ml of water in a blender (or a shaker).
2. Add the desired amount of pizza spice.
3. Shake or blend.
5. Serve and enjoy!

Results

Our unflavoured version of Queal works amazing with pizza spice, we decided to just add it and shake it, but you can also throw it in the blender if you prefer your shake to have a smooth consistency. To make it taste even better you can throw in the mix also Italian herbs.

After the success with pizza spice, we decided to experiment further with Italian kitchen. We mixed our unflavoured variant of Queal, Queal in Qontrol with some Italian spices. We used fresh herbs, but you can also add dried ones. Read below to see how this experiment turned out!

Fun Fact: Did you know that basil is also an important ingredient in Thai kitchen?

You will need

• Italian Herbs
• 1/3rd bag of Queal + oil
• Water

Instructions

1. Wash and cut up into small pieces the Italian herbs (skip this step if using dried spices).
2. Place Queal in Qontrol, oil and 350ml of water together with the Italian spices in a blender (or a shaker).
3. Shake or blend.
4. Serve and enjoy!

Results

Queal in Qontrol with Italian spices tastes very good, the herbs compliment the slightly salty shake. After tasting this mix, we also added some pizza spice and as we hypothesised the combination tastes really good. As mentioned earlier, we used fresh spices but if you are feeling lazy  you can also add dried herbs, either an Italian mix or oregano and basil separately. The unflavoured version of Queal combined with the Italian spices leads to a very satisfying savoury meal!

On our quest to find the best tasting savoury Queal variations, we investigated chili this week. We mixed the unflavoured variant of Queal, Queal in Qontrol together with chili powder. If you want to spice things up, try it yourself and let us know what you think. A little warning before you do, this is not for the faint-hearted!

Fun fact: Did you know that Christopher Columbus found chilis in the Caribbean, decided to name them ‘peppers’, and then brought them back to Europe?

You will need

• Chili powder
• 1/3rd bag of Queal + oil
• Water

Instructions

1. Place your favourite Queal, oil, 300ml of water and the chilli powder in a blender (or a shaker).
2. Blend (shake).
3. Serve and enjoy!

Results

The end result tastes quite spicy, the chilli taste takes over the unflavoured taste of Queal. We used dried chilli, but it could be also interesting to try it with fresh chilli. If you are brave enough to attempt that you will have to let us know!

Now you can see our Tinkering Thursdays, check out our chilli video:

After last weeks success, we have tinkered with garlic to see how it would taste with our unflavoured variant of Queal, Queal in Qontrol. Read below to see how this experiment turned out!

Fun Fact: The smell of garlic can be removed by running your hands under cold water while rubbing a stainless steel object.

You will need

• 1 clove of garlic
• 1/3rd bag of Queal + oil
• Water

Instructions

1. Take 2 cloves and peel them.
2. Place your favourite Queal, oil, 300ml of water and the garlic in a blender.
3. Blend.
4. Serve and enjoy!

Results

Queal with garlic has a very strong taste, very garlicky and even a bit spicy. The garlic blended nicely, if you are a fan of garlic, why not try it. However, we can imagine this variant does not suit everybody. Fresh garlic can also be replaced with powdered spice, if you try it this way let us know how it tastes!
