Why it worked

The video taps into relatable struggles of parenting (tiredness, picky eaters) and the desire to make healthy choices, while also showcasing a simple, customizable recipe. The creator's candidness about her struggles and the unexpected banana situation adds authenticity and humor.

Summary

The creator makes a smoothie for her daughter, adding frozen peaches, Greek yogurt, and bananas. She struggles to secure the blender lid due to wet hands but her partner helps. She realizes she forgot to add milk, which is crucial for blending, and adds it before blending the smoothie. The smoothie turns out delicious and she saves the rest for the next day.

Product placement

Ninja blender: used to blend smoothie ingredients. Removing it would prevent the smoothie from being made. Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt: used as an ingredient in the smoothie. Removing it would change the smoothie's flavor and nutritional content. The blender and yogurt both ACT and are essential to the video's narrative.

Transcript

16-month-old daughter has never had anything to drink besides water and milk and maybe a sip of lemonade here and there and I'm trying to keep it that way. But today we made a smoothie for breakfast and she absolutely loved it. Did you see how weird those bananas were when I picked up the bunch of very ripe bananas? All of the tops snapped off. I've never seen that happen ever. And I'm not a bad mom. I peel those little things off because they weird me out and I wouldn't want to drink that either. I am trying to add a little bit of protein into this. So I added a little bit of Greek yogurt. This one's actually delicious and I don't like Greek yogurt at all. We are using every drop because we are not wasteful in this household. And of course, we added some frozen peaches. I was struggling bussing this morning. My hands were wet and I could not twist to save my life. Well, Hudson was home and saved the day. He's the best. But you know what I forgot to do? Add milk because there was not enough liquid in there to blend that at all. As you can probably tell, I was really, really tired. When it comes to smoothies, there is never a recipe I follow. Whatever looks good and sounds like it would go together is what I'm adding. I added random fruit that needed to get used up. And it turned into the most delicious smoothie ever. And I've been saying, we are not wasteful, so I'm saving the rest of the smoothie in a mason jar in the fridge for tomorrow.
