Mango-Papaya-Spinach Green Smoothie

Posted in Dessert, Fruits, Smoothie by

If you have picky kids and would like to give them spinach like I do… sneaking those baby spinach to this smoothie was one idea I will definitely keep. The sweet yet tangy combination of mango, papaya and mandarin orange and their bright color definitely masked the spinach very well. My kids drank their glass of smoothie without asking me what’s in there. The only thing they said was “Delicious!”

Oatmeal is my definite go-to meal. I can have oatmeal for breakfast, lunch, snack or dinner. ANYtime! It’s so easy and quick to prepare plus it can admit almost anything. I am now dreaming of oatmeal… Yeah, I will have oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow morning! ^^)

overnight oats

For 1 serving, you will need:

half cup of quick oatmeal

1 tablespoon oat bran

250 ml milk of your choice (semi-skimmed milk, oatmilk, soy milk, almond milk…)

1. Pour oatmeal, oat bran and milk into a large glass. Cover and let it sit in the fridge overnight.

2. To serve, you can warm the overnight oats in the microwave (or serve cold). Pour into a bowl and load it with fruits. In the photo above, I added half of a small apple, half of a kiwifruit, half of a banana, 1 large strawberry, some raisins, almonds, honey and a dash of ground cinnamon. Delicious and healthy!

SBO Smoothie {Recipe}

Posted in Dessert, Fruits, Smoothie by

If you have kids, like I do, you know it can sometimes be difficult to introduce new things to their diet. Do you have picky kids? Serving smoothies as dessert or snack is a great way to give them fruits they normally wouldn’t eat by itself. We call this the SBO smoothie because the main ingredients are Strawberries, Bananas and Orange (which I normally freeze in smoothie packs) and I just add other ingredients depending on whatever is on hand.
