Hello my Dearest Foodies,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and now you are ready for our FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY hosted by the beloved Katie @plantstoplanks. I am just so happy she is doing such an excellent job, because my hand is healing very slowly and the surgery of my left hand is not going to be until November. I just found out last week while visiting my doctor. So now I am totally convinced that I made the right choice when I decided to retire.
However, despite of my challenges I still manage to make some easy recipes, because otherwise I would go crazy, lol. So here is this super healthy and flavorful smoothie for you. It will boost your immune system if you have a winter season like we do here in Canada, or it will be refreshing meal for those of you in tropical climates.

That looks like pure summer and some exotic destination. I see that you're looking forward to summer already :)
I'm sorry to hear about your postponed surgery but I'm glad that you still can manage some easy recipes. It's nice to see your contribution to Fruits and veggies Monday :) I'm not used to it :)
I have same coconut bowls! :) They are so pretty! I use them almost every day :)

Thank you so much Sweetie! Yes I am looking forward to summer, but you know, it's going to come any faster, lol. The surgery is not really postponed, it's just the surgeon is already booked until August and I prefer to have it done while the weather is cold again.
And yes, those coconut bowls are just wonderful. I am thinking to get some more 🥥😉🍊

Howdy Miss Lena! oh that looks amazing. Those colors are so rich and vibrant, I can just taste the flavors exploding! All those colors mean antioxidants don't they? those mixtures have to be so healthy. I feel healthier just studying your gorgeous photos! lol.

Aarrghhhh... this is too delicious for a smoothie @lenasveganliving 😉 don't have all the fruits in your recipe .. but I think I know the local fruit that can be a subtitute for it...your smoothie is bloody wonderful to see!
Hope that you'll get well and simply recipes won't hurt your hand too.

Thank you so much my Dear Melinda, I am glad you like it. And I guess I am using my hand more than I should, but I don't have a butler, so what can I do lol.

Oh my God, can a smoothie look any yummier? Not only are these smoothie bowls picture perfect they make me crave a blood orange, vitamin C packed, cancer fighting something or other. Great job Lena. Even with one hand tied behind your back you still show us what a kitchen gangster is capable of. Bravo!!!

I love blood oranges. Too bad we don't have them here. But I just booked my flight to Europe. Can't wait to have some fresh berries and oranges in just a few months. Happy to hear you are getting better. I would go crazy too if I wasn't able to cook. Much healing and love sent your way.

Oh that looks so good! I love blood oranges. I had a few last week that I put into a kale salad, but I think your smoothie bowl looks even better. A dose of vitamin D in a bowl with all those sunshine-y colors! 🌞

Well, it sounds like a great idea to eat it with the kale salad too Katie. I will keep that in mind. Thank you so much Sweetie, we all need summer here in this "temperate" climate, lol.
