Strawberry Banana Mango Smoothie

Strawberry Banana Mango Smoothie

And Strawberry Mango Syrup

Yummy!

This morning...for breakfast...I served up some of my fresh Bountiful Baskets strawberries for breakfast.  I made French toast from my BB nine grain bread and served it topped with Strawberry Mango Syrup.  We also had Strawberry Banana Mango smoothies with it. I like to experiment with flavors....that's the kind of cook that I am so I rarely follow a recipe exactly.  However, these two recipes are all my own.  I hope you enjoy them.

I scored a bullet type blender at a yard sale yesterday for $10 so I just had to try it out...this was part of the inspiration for my culinary adventure.  If you don't have a bullet or similar blender, a regular blender or a food processor will also work.

Strawberry Mango syrup

1/2 very ripe mango

7-8 large strawberries

Cranberry Raspberry juice (enough to fill the larger bullet cup about 3/4 of the way.  Approx 1.5 cups.  I used Langers)

1/4 cup sugar (or use hone, agave, stevia, etc. but adjust the proportions)

1.  Blend the mango, strawberry, and juice until smooth making certain that there are no lumps left.

2.  Pour into small sauce pan.

3.  Add sugar.

4.  Bring to a boil. Turn down heat and continue a slow boil for approximately 10 min.  

5. Check to make sure that sugar is dissolved.

6.  Cool and serve or refrigerate.

Strawberry Banana Mango Smoothie

1 small extra ripe frozen banana

1/2 mango sliced

5-6 frozen strawberries

Pineapple Coconut juice (enough to fill the larger bullet cup about 3/4 of the way.  Approx 1.5 cups.  I used a natural brand from a health food store.)

1.  Blend the mango, strawberry, banana and juice until smooth making certain that there are no lumps left (unless you like it that way).  Shake if necessary.

2.  Serve.

Enjoy!  My teenage son loved it!
