Banana Berry Mango Smoothie

Lately I have been really into smoothies. As in I make one just about every single day. I started out buying the Yoplait frozen smoothies that you just add milk into but I wanted to include different fruit and decided to have a go at my own original smoothie. Since mango is grown here on Okinawa I always have access to big, fresh mango. Unfortunately berries are hard to come by so I am just buying frozen organic berries instead.

It's a healthy, filling, quick and easy breakfast. I don't know why I neglected the smoothie for so long. What ingredients are you in your favorite smoothie??

Hubby and I concocted this yummy half martini half mimosa cocktail this weekend while my parents were visiting. Frozen mango puree blended with vodka, seltzer, and topped with champagne result in a thick bubbly fruity drink that is sweet and tart. Perfect for toasting 30th birthdays!
