Fix Me A Snack

One of my newest measures of snack recipe success is how messed up my four year-old daughter’s face gets when she eats. A good snack should leave behind some tell-tale signs of having been consumed with gusto.

Here we have Exhibit A which was the aftermath of our latest Sunshine Smoothie. Her face isn’t actually that messy. But the sprinkles on her chin make it a winner, non? The sprinkles were entirely her idea, by the way.

Sunshine Smoothie Recipe

1 fresh mango, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
1 medium ripe banana, peeled
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup orange juice

Place all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Serve.

Yield: 3 cups
Prep-time: 5 minutes

1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilanto, chopped
1/2 ripe haas avacado, chopped (optional)
Juice of 1/2 lime
A couple of pinches of salt

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Make sure the avacado is well coated with the lime juice as it will prevent it from browning. Serve with tortilla chips. Ole!
