Fruit and Vegetable Blast Smoothie

-


According to the food pyramid, health experts and nutritionists. Daily we need to intake 5 fruits or vegetable and drink our 8 cups of water. But not many people do that. This is important because it helps our body to get all the nutrients and good for us, vitamins that it needs in order to continue having energy to live a productive life.

Sometimes we don't intake all of those fruits and vegetables due to not liking them , maybe due to lack of time to stop and pick up at least 5 fruits and vegetable pieces to eat throughout the day, maybe because you are not used to adding vegetables to your lunch and dinner meals etc. Even if you do eat your daily portions worth, you could always eat more, it won't hurt.

Drink health, energy and an immune system boost with this fresh fruit and vegetable smoothie made from scratch. You can add in your 5 fruits and vegetables into that one smoothie and have your daily portion all in one big cup. So fresh it needs to be drunk immediately after making.  Similar to the naked juice drinks ,drink to your health and give your body the strength it needs by giving it the stuff it needs. Made in minutes.

Here is how:

Ingredients
3 - 4 fruits of your choice
1 - 2 vegetables of your choice
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup pure fruit juice

Here I have kale, apple, honey dew melon, peach and strawberry. Add in 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup fresh fruit juice and blend on high for about 3 minutes. Once smooth pour it in your cup and your good to go.

Tip: for a more refreshing drink add in a few ice cubes or freeze your fruit so that when its blended it will be much colder and have a slight ice crunch to it. Drink immediately

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem.
