Smooth Avocado Tangy Kiwi Smoothie

Smoothie series continues:) Kiwi's are a fun fruit!
People are always puzzled, what to do with them?
I have once seen someone eat the whole kiwi like an apple, even the fuzzy skin!
I like to add them when I need something a little tangy in a dish!
They make a perfect addition to a smoothie!
I like the tiny seeds in the kiwi, the way they pop when you eat them.
This smoothie has a smooth rich texture because of the avocado, and when you add the
kiwi it gives it a tang.
When you add fresh lemon juice it is a burst of sunshine!

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!

Savory Creamy Avocado Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie

Second smoothie in the series. Everybody thinks smoothie's have to be sweet. Some people don't like sweet things, even if they are fruit. So I came up with a savory smoothie. The high note is avocado with
back round hint of strawberry and blueberry. I like this one if you are adding it to a meal,
because it really fills you up. Avocados have that creamy texture almost like you added a heavy cream.
This one is a go to for a savory treat!!!

out the flesh. Blend all ingredients very well until thick and creamy:)

Creamy Ice Cream with a new topping!

Most of us like ice cream, whether your favorite flavor is vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, bubble gum
you know who you are:) I have a great idea!
We all like hot fudge, how it melts the ice cream and makes a chocolate sauce that is warm and creamy on the bottom of the dish.
Oh I do love hot fudge, but the other idea is to scoop your favorite flavor into a dish, then pour a fresh or store bought smoothie over the top!
It is completely different flavor then adding fruit to the top of your Sundae, sometimes it does not mix chewing the cold fruit with creamy texture ice cream:(
 Oh my gosh it is sooooooooooooooo good, you get the same as you would with hot fudge a creamy mixture of both ice cream and smoothie.
I used a store bought smoothie (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries).
You can make a fresh one and do the same.
Super refreshing on a hot day.
Here is a picture of what I am talking about ENJOY!
