South American Telmatobius Frog Smoothie

In some South American countries like Peru people may take endangered Telmatobius frogs, skin and cut them, then throw them into a blender to make a frog smoothie.

To complete the dish a few other ingredients are added to the blender:

• three ladles of hot white bean broth
• two generous spoonfuls of honey
• raw aloe vera plant
• several tablespoons of maca
• 1 dead, skinned, endangered Telmatobius frog

The above recipe makes about 200ml of smoothie.

Here is a video showcasing of the process of making a frog smoothie.

Some believe this helps with fatigue, anemia, bronchitis, or stress. These uses have not been approved by the FDA.
