Chocolate Mint Adorable Smoothie


We all know that eating fruit is extremely beneficial to our health and well-being. However, finding the time to eat enough fruit per day can be difficult due to busy lifestyles.

Smoothie recipes mostly contain fruits that are easily obtainable from your local store and are very simple and easy to make - as long as you have a smoothie maker! It has never been easier to make your own smoothies for consumption at home or work.
But this time i want to share with you a chocolate smoothie...

The benefit of making your own smoothies is that you know exactly what has gone into them, and you can save yourself a small fortune too!

If you have a smoothie recipe you would like to share with others, then please do get in touch with me..ok?

Mango Lassi



This is one of my favourite drink....i planted a mango tree infront of my house about 4 years ago...and it was fruiting a lot especially during dry seasons...i dont know what to do with these mangoes until one day i saw this drink on a menu..in an indian resturant to have my banana leaf dishes...

its so delicious and refreshing plus the vitamin c..now you can try this out..

1 1/4 cups plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh mango pulp*
1/3 cup cold water
1 to 2 tablespoons honey or sugar (depending on how sweet you want it)
9 to 10 standard-size ice cubes

* Canned or frozen mango may be substituted

If using a fresh mango, peel and remove the flesh from the pit; cut mango into small pieces.

In a blender, add yogurt, lemon juice, mango pulp, water, and honey or sugar. Blend approximately 2 to 3 minutes or until you see a little forming in the mixture. Add the ice and blend until frothy! NOTE: Some people like to pour the mango mixture over ice cubes instead of blending the ice cubes in the drink.

Makes 2 servings.
