Avocado Mango Celery Salsa Vegan

I love this salsa:) You can't stop eating it!
So when you make it, double or triple the recipe.
When I originally made it, I didn't use celery, but I wanted a crunch to it.
So I added finely chopped celery, and it adds a great crunch and a freshness.
The combination of the creamy avocados and the sweet mango, is so divine!  
You can serve it with corn chips or potato chips, or whatever chips you like:)
It is also good spread on a wrap, with some fresh greens yummy!

Smooth Mango Peach Frozen Strawberry Smoothie The last one of The Smoothie Series

The final recipe in the smoothie series!
Thank you, to all of you that have really enjoyed the series.
I love to create in recipes, so don't think I won't be working hard on new ones:)
If you have a idea or suggestion, email me or write me on Facebook.
The final recipe is a delicious smoothie, it combines mango, peaches with
frozen strawberry's, you get a smooth and creamy texture, and the frozen
berry's give you a nice cool down when it is hot outside:)
Peaches are a great treat, there is something special when you eat a
juicy, sweet peach, it gives my a big smile:)
They have a nice amount of liquid, so you don't have to add a extra liquid!
I like adding mango to smoothies it just gives it a thickness, without
adding cream!
Even a whole mango and a few Tablespoons of yogurt blended together
is really a great treat!
Start experimenting with mango and you will find a new Love:)

Sunny Mango Blueberry Smoothie

Mango's are like little sunshine's, the perfect smoothie ingredient! It gives the smoothie a great body:)
When I make smoothie's, I like to have a thicker consistency, so I look for
fruit or vegetables that will give me that. I don't like to add ice or protein
powder to get a thick consistency. When buying mango's, I look for healthy, and
unblemished, with a slight give. The secret is to let them ripen on the counter until very ripe!
What do I mean? I have found that leaving them to ripen, and getting very soft to the
touch, you get more flesh from the middle seed. When I let them "soften" I
don't get as much of the seed:( So watch them, and let them get very soft
without going bad!

1 mango

and mix until very smooth.

Mango Blueberry Milky Smoothie Smoothie series

I am going to be doing a series of smoothie recipes. I like smoothies especially when I make them:)
For me I like to drink them before breakfast. When I feel really dehydrated I make a smoothie,
I feel like a sponge getting all hydrated. You can make them in what ever fruit you like,
also you can make "savory" smoothies if you don't like very sweet one. In the series I will
be giving you many recipes:) The first one is Mango Blueberry, this one is very special, you would
never think of this combination but it really really works. The mango is the high note but the
blueberry almost turns into a cream with blueberry flavor. It just works and you can't stop drinking
it:) When making smoothies you don't have to have a fancy blender, a stick blender works like
a charm. Happy smoothie making:)
