Mixed fruit and berry smoothie

A fresh smoothie is always a great way to start the day and the possibilities are limitless. Lately I've made more of them, and always feel energetic and light all day after such a breakfast. I like making them in this season, because many fresh berries are still available. I've frozen some berries for later use, but the fresh and local ones are always the best.

Today I had these fruits and berries available for a smoothie:

1 passion fruit

1 apricot

6 strawberries

1 tsp sea-buckthorn powder

150 g Greek yogurt

Blend the ingredients together and enjoy the freshness of the smoothie.

Have a great week!

Mango and pineapple smoothie

It's summer, warm (especially after a quick-paced morning walk in the park) and I have a huge appetite just for fresh fruits. That simply is how this smoothie idea came along, and the contents of my fridge had also a little bit to do with it.

I find that a smoothie easily replaces breakfast or lunch in the summer, especially when there are some nuts, cereal or flaxseed added (although I didn't add any of those this time). This is my simple combination for this morning.

2 mangoes

1 small pineapple

200 ml grapefruit juice

Peel the mangoes and the pineapple and remove the cores. Chop them into generous cubes.

Then just blend these together with the grapefruit juice and your power smoothie is ready to be enjoyed.
