Finding the Time to Make a Nice Breakfast
It feels like I always tell myself I am going to commit to having smoothies for breakfast and then I run out the door with a peice of toast (or nothing at all) instead. I realized how much frozen fruit I had accumulated over the past few months when the virus hit and store shelves all felt a bit thin. It felt like a good time to start blending again, especially since I was working from home.
This Smoothie has no Added Sugars
My husband said this smoothie is a bit tart because I didn’t put any added sugars in it, but if you ask me that’s the way a smoothie should be. I add a bit of sugar to smoothies sometimes, but I think that as long as you get the fruit proportions right it’s really not necessary (especially since fruit already has so much natural sugar). The triple berry mixture in this smoothie brings the tart, followed by a mellow buzz from the mango. The coconut flakes add a little bit of sweet and a slight chew.
Vibrant Colors Make for a Happy Breakfast
Is it just me, or does a vibrant looking meal just hit the spot for you? I’m a big fan of pretty looking dishes, so this smoothie checks all the boxes for me. It’s hard to miss a thick peice of toast when you’ve got colors in a cup. It comes out of the blender a little thick so I like to give it 5 minutes or so before eating it. At that point the flavors and colors begin to run together a little bit, reminding me of a tequila sunrise (a family favorite on spring break trips growing up).

This was easy to make and I love that it’s almost sour. My kids said they felt like they were eating a sour patch kid.
Same! It’s the perfect “pucker” smoothie. Thank you for leaving a review.
