As a busy family of 5, we seek some simple recipes that can be quickly whipped up to nourish and feed us — preferably in a fun way! Now that the temperatures here in Western North Carolina have warmed up, we are seeking more smoothies and cool salads in our daily dietary repertoire. Here is a recipe that my son Ale’ (age 6) created today, and we loved it!
- 2 mushy juicy organic oranges
- 1/2 organic avocado
- 2 cups cubed papaya (seeds removed / those are great to set aside and dehydrate. . . then place in an empty pepper grinder and use in place of pepper. It’s full of parasite-killing enzymes, instead of gut-irritating pepper! Also has the same flavor profile!)
- 1 cup of water
- 1 tray of spring water ice cubes
- dash of stevia powder or drops of liquid stevia
- pinch of natural salt (sea salt, himalayan rock salt)
- 1 tsp whey powder
- any other nutritional add-on’s
Note: Any other tropical fruits go great in this shake! banana, mango, kiwi . . .
Add all ingredients to the blender, adding in the ice cubes last, and blend until smooth. Pour into cups and enjoy with a smile on your face and the sun on your cheeks! ☀️
