Pink Dream - Smoothie


I had an idea for a sweet but yogurt-like smoothie and so I came up with this recipe. Not exactly like yogurt but sort of had a creamy yogurt taste to it. The texture for me came out perfect and the sweetness was just right. The below recipe serves about 3 people.


Ingredients - 3 Servings
10 oz Organic Frozen Mangoes
10 oz Organic Frozen Strawberries
1 Organic Orange
2 Organic Bananas (the riper the better)
1 Cup Water (more or less)


Toss frozen ingredients into blender first, followed by the bananas. Then juice your orange (I used a lemon squeezer) and add in the juice of the orange. Turn your blender on at low speed and slowly add the water in while raising up the speed of the blender, until all the water is in and the mixture is smooth. No sugar, no milk, just fruits. Enjoy!

Sweet N' Sour Smoothie



This morning I was in the mood for a smoothie and didn't have any bananas so I decided to juice up some oranges and lemon to use as my base for the smoothie which actually turned out to be a very delicious idea.

The mixture of juiced oranges and lemon imitated a grapefruit flavor but with a little more sweetness to it, so if you're ever craving grapefruit in your smoothie and you have some oranges and lemons, then no worries! This recipe I whipped up is very simple and tasty, hope you enjoy!

Ingredients
10 oz Organic Frozen Mangos
6-8 oz Organic Frozen Strawberries
2 Organic Oranges
1/2 Organic Lemon

Juice both the oranges and lemon in your juicer, leave the peel on for the lemon but peel off the orange peel because it can be very bitter. Toss juice into blender and add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. No sugar, no milk, just fruits! Enjoy!
