Down Size It

For those who know me, knows that my favorite color is pink... So why not make it into a healthy drink... I actually tried my first pink juice @ Peeled juice bar and I found it to be very refreshing... So I created my very own version of it but as a smoothie... I call it " Pink Passion "... The star ingredient of this smoothie are beets. YES!!! you heard it right BEETS!!! Beets  cleanses the liver, purifies the blood, it is also a anti-inflammatory, and a great source of iron.. And by my being anemic, this is a smoothie that I will benefit from drinking everyday.. I know some of you may think Beets, "YUCK"... But don't knock it 'til you try it... This is one smoothie that you will be wanting more of and it will also give you a boost of energy. Pink Passion Smoothie 1 small beet Frozen Pineapples 1 pear Fresh Ginger Coconut Water Combine all ingredients in your blender until smooth and enjoy this beautiful concoction of pink passion....

I found this recipe on "Ohmyveggies.com"... I have never eaten a champagne mango before but this recipe has me wanting to run out to the store to get one...  So this weekend it's going down.... I have a huge love for salsa and this salsa I know will taste very good on top of my salmon with the freshness of the cucumber and the sweetness of the mango, I know it will be on my most favorite list... Ingredients: 1 ripe mango, diced (Champagne mango if you can find one) 1/2 small English Cucumber, diced 1/3c diced red onions 1/4c chopped cilantro 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and diced Juice from 1 lime Freshly ground black pepper Mix it all together and enjoy! Serve with your favorite tortilla chips (I love the late July guacamole flavored tortilla chips) or you can mix it in with your cooked quinoa or put on top of your salmon or Tilapia...
