Jungle Food - Fruit smoothies are nutritious and delicious.

in food •  6 years ago  (edited)

I may be a keen photographer but truly when it comes to fruit smoothies there will never be anyone to compare to @delishtreats for making a smoothie look more beautiful than words can describe. Nevertheless this is a fruit smoothie post for you all. Even more important than beautiful photography is healthy eating and this is what this post is about.

My smoothie recipe is simple, nutritious and delicious. They vary from day to day depending on what fruit I have available. There are no rules in making delicious smoothies. It Is simply just a case of what fruit do you love, or what fruit do you have! 😉

Today I have fresh picked papaya, apple, frozen bananas and frozen blackberries. Once the apple and papaya are diced they go into the blender jug along with the blackberries and bananas, a splash of iced water and a dollop of local organic honey that the bees shared with us. Thank you bees!

Fresh red fruits are one thing that are not so plentiful in this part of Costa Rica but blackberries are available so I buy a kilo at a time and freeze them as with all foodstuffs in this country they do not keep long.

It is chilled and resfreshing, bursting with flavor and vitamins. Smoothies are the ultimate fast food.

Smoothies are great for everyone’s health. They are the fastest way to consume a plate full of fruit too so great fun for your kids to enjoy before school in the mornings.

Namaste

Our lives become beautiful not because we are perfect but because we put our heart into what we do.

Hahaha, you're so cute!!! Thank you for this cool mention!

Your smoothie looks delicious! My kind of refreshment for these summer days!

You are so lucky with fresh papaya! But on the other hand we are lucky with fresh red fruits :)

Thank you for sharing your recipe! I will definitely try it!

Thanks very much @delishtreats. Hope you are having a wonderful time in Barcelona now xxx🌈💛🌴🦋

I'm actually at Zurich airport right now 😊 I can't wait to board!

@delishtreats are you on your way back to Switzerland ?

No, no, on the way to Barcelona😊

Yummy!! A beautiful array of fruit and what a vibrant and healthy resulting smoothie :) thanks for sharing @sallybeth23 and showing us great photos too!

Thanks very much @gardeningchef glad you liked it 🌈🌴💛🦋

Also living in a part of the world where the best most delicious fruit grows is a huge plus side!!!!

Great to hear from you @stiggy and yes you are right, fruit grows plentifully here. But the supermarkets and open air vegetable markets in Europe have amazing selections of red fruits and all other fruit these days so you can still indulge. Fruit is a must in a healthy balanced diet. ❤️

Sorry for the silence been very busy with work!!! Hope your having a great weekend!!

Thanks @stiggy yes having a relaxed weekend so far. Hope you are having some quality rest in between your hard work. What’s keeping you so busy?

Llangenith is such a beautiful beach!! My grandmother was actually sent to wales as a child during the blitz and she loves it too!!!
