This is kinda like a Mango Lassi, but with more fruits which makes it perfect for a breakfast drink. I am trying my best to keep my new year’s resolution of eating more fruits each day.
MANGO STRAWBERRY PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIE
½ banana 4 strawberries 2 fresh pineapple rings 1/2 cup mango nectar 1/2 cup water ½ cup plain yogurt 1 tbs agave nectar 1 tbs ground flaxseeds 4 ice cubes
What are your favorite fruit combinations???
Keeping with my new year’s resolutions, I am a smoothie inventing machine. I just start mixing and matching fruits and flavors. Sometimes I like what I make, but sometimes I like it a LOT!!!! Here is another favorite combination…
STRAWBERRY, PINEAPPLE AND ORANGE SMOOTHIE
2 fresh pineapple slices 4 strawberries ½ banana 1 cup orange juice ½ cup plain yogurt 1 tbs agave nectar 3 ice cubes
You can certainly add any supplement like ground flaxseeds, raw oatmeal or bee pollen.
As a New Year’s resolution I vowed to eat healthier… and making sure I eat my servings of fruit a day is certainly part of it.
I love the Tropical Cream Supreme combination from the Orange Juluis. To be honest, I don’t even know if this fast food joint still exists out there. Possibly I should Google it. But I know these flavors are part of my growing up. But sometimes, we need to change things up…
So here is my updated version of the Tropical Creme Supreme and it’s become my new favorite breakfast smoothie.
UPDATED TROPICAL CREAM SUPREME BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE
1 banana 4 strawberries ¼ cup frozen mango ½ cup plain yogurt 1 cup passion fruit juice A squirt of agave nectar or honey 1 tbs of ground flaxseed
Piña Coladas are the quintessential Caribbean drink… Wanna make them even more nutritious??? Let’s take the flavors and make it into a smoothie, perfectly suitable for a breakfast drink.
PIÑA COLADA SMOOTHIE
1 banana ½ cup pineapple, cut into cubes ½ cup vanilla yogurt 2 tbs cream of coconut – I use Coco López 1 tsp ground flaxseeds 2 -3 ice cubes About ½ cup Water or pineapple juice – enough to make the mixture blend well in the blender.
This is a recipe for one smoothie… I blend it all in my Magic Bullet.
Broccoli is not something I grew up with. I learned to eat broccoli in my adulthood, and probably something I started to appreciate more once I decided to try more and more vegetarian recipes. My first memories of broccoli are not fun and were associated with dieting at an early age because I was in Ballet Camp… you know the days when I barely weighed 85lbs, but my ballet teacher told us all we could lose 10 more pounds. Oh, how we long TODAY to be as “fat” as we were then…
The truth is… broccoli is delicious, but it’s even better when you add some cheese to it. This recipe… has two cheeses, but you can indulge and add any or as many cheeses as you want.
This is a great recipe to use broccoli that’s a little past its prime… and to use the whole vegetable, florets and stalk too. It’s also awesome for times when you’re super busy. The potatoes and broccoli boil/steam on their own with little tending to. Check it out…
BROCCOLI MASHED POTATOES
3-4 medium Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes ½ a head of broccoli, florets and stem or you can use just florets if you prefer 2 cloves of garlic, peeled 1 tbs of butter 2 ounces of cream cheese 2 tbs of plain greek yogurt 1 handful of shredded 6-cheese blend Drizzle of Olive Oil Salt and Pepper to taste
This is more a method than a recipe… because you can add any cheese you prefer to this recipe. I sometimes use the little bits and pieces of cheese I have laying around my cheese drawer for this. Any will work and will still taste delicious…
