Make Your Own Smoothie (Teens) with Sous Chef Vivian Mercado

Week of November 18, 2023

Teens! Join Vivian at the juice bar to learn how to make healthy and delicious smoothies. Hearty and refreshing smoothies will immediately make you feel lighter, more energetic, and happy knowing that while you are enjoying a tasty beverage, you are also improving your cellular state.

 

Born and raised in Baja California, Sous Chef Vivian Mercado went to Culinary School in Ensenada at the University of Baja California (UABC).

Her experience started working at a healthy meal prep kitchen. She moved on to be a young manager for a new project that focused on wines, coffee and bread. After three years, she decided to return to Tecate to work at Rancho La Puerta. Vivian started at the Juice Bar making delicious and nutritious smoothies for our guests for over a year. The opportunity to be part of the kitchen staff came along, and now Vivian is our Sous Chef at the Rancho La Puerta kitchen. Vivian is delighted to teach the teens this week how to make their own smoothies!
