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
We had a great season for mango’s this year and we froze a lot of it for out-of-season enjoyment.
Mangos and strawberries pair very well together… and ripe mangos provide a touch of tropical goodness to any breakfast smoothie. This has been my smoothie of choice for the last few weeks.
Hope you enjoy it as well…
MANGO STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE
1 cup of mango pieces ½ cup of strawberries ½ cup pineapple or orange juice ½ cup water 2 tbs plain yogurt 1 tbs agave nectar 4-5 ice cubes – I use these if the fruits are fresh and not frozen
Enjoy all its deliciousness. It’s tangy and sweet all at the same time… you don’t taste the pineapple at all, but if in a pinch, you can use only water.
During my recent trip to Las Vegas I learned the Italian word for sorbet… SORBETO. Kind of funny because in Spanish, or at least here in Puerto Rico, “sorbeto” is what we call a drinking straw.
People at the Yoga Center go crazy for ice creams or frozen desserts of any kind. They’re a nice welcome change from the traditional cake they usually serve. And me, I’m not the cake-lover type. I rather eat a cookie or an ice cream any day before I crave a slice of cake.
So for our Italian Dinner at the Yoga Center I was asked to help out, specifically with desserts… who doesn’t like ice creams, no?? But to make it easy on me I decided to make a very traditional and natural SORBETO. I made a HUGE batch of this, but let’s just scale it down as if I was making it for a dinner party at home…
STRAWBERRY SORBETO
4 cups frozen strawberries 4 tbs of agave nectar
Yep… that’s it. 2 ingredients. That’s why its soooooo good.
This is soooo refreshing on a hot Summer afternoon…
