NEED TO KNOW
- Love Is Blind cast member Jordan Keltner made a smoothie with baked chicken and Crystal Light on episode 9 of the show’s current ninth season
- “That is so f—ing gross,” castmate Megan Walerius tells him upon trying it
- Jordan previously revealed his chicken smoothie habit in a cast bio on Netflix’s Tudum, admitting, “I know it’s gross, but just trying to get my protein in”
One Love Is Blind cast member has an unusual way of getting his protein.
In the ninth episode of the Netflix reality dating series’ ninth season, Jordan Keltner showed fiancée Megan Walerius how he makes his signature chicken smoothies.
As the episode begins, Jordan opens a plastic bag of chicken, gives it a whiff and remarks, “Good stuff.” He then explains his plans to add eight ounces of poultry to the drink.
When Megan asks how the chicken was cooked, Jordan initially jokes, “It’s not cooked at all,” before assuring her, ”I just bake it.”
The other key smoothie ingredient, he says, is a packet of Crystal Light. He then uses a NutriBullet blender to whip up the concoction.
“Ugh, I can smell it,” Megan complains, to which Jordan shoots back, “It smells like chicken. Who cares?”
Jordan’s next step is to “cheers” with the smoothie and then chug it.
Megan leans over coughing and utters “No, uh-uhm” as Jordan smiles.
“That is so f—ing gross,” she says. “Oh my God, the texture.”
“It’s a little gritty sometimes, for sure,” Jordan admits, before Megan points to the residue above his lip and tells him, “The mustache, I can’t.”
“Ew, ew, ew, ew, I could do without ever seeing this again in my life,” she adds.
“You’ll just have to see it every morning for the next 50, 60, 70, potentially 80 years,” Jordan teases.
Defending his controversial drink, Jordan says it packs about 350 calories and 55 grams of protein, and flexes his muscles.
Megan points out that he could’ve eaten six eggs instead, but Jordan insists that making the smoothie is “way quicker.”
One TikToker shared a “raw” reaction to the scene, writing, “Poor Meg….I wonder if he knows they make a thing called protein powder.”
Another TikTok user posted a video asking, “What do you mean this man just made a frozen chicken and Crystal Light smoothie and drank it? Please, please.”
“Netflix please how could you do this to me?! I NEEDED A CONTENT WARNING FOR JORDAN’S SMOOTHIE,” read the accompanying caption.
Jordan’s preference for poultry in his smoothies was previously documented in a season 9 cast guide to the Denver, Colo., singles looking for love on the show, published on Netflix’s Tudum site.
A bio for the 30-year-old service manager reads, “Jordan’s best habit is eating healthy, but he’s also well aware that his go-to chicken breast breakfast smoothie might not go down smooth for everyone. ‘I know it’s gross, but just trying to get my protein in,’ he admits.”
The first nine episodes of Love Is Blind season 9 are streaming now on Netflix, with the next batch dropping on Oct. 15.
