Cook-A-Latte

~ Welcome ~

In America today, food choices are abundant. Unfortunately, many choices are not healthy for our bodies to consume on a regular basis. Foods like many processed pre-packaged meals, fast food, white sugar laden foods are just a few. There are so many additives and preservatives out there as well. I have chosen to make a concerted effort to buy and cook nutritious foods for my family. This blog reflects healthy recipes and information on healthy eating. I try to reflect a balanced diet where healthy eating is the norm.

~ Tropical Smoothie packed with Nutrition ~

Tropical Smoothie

In a blender put 1/2 cup milk (skim milk, soy milk, etc.), 3/4 cup unsweetened apple juice, about 1 tablespoon plain yogurt, 2 teaspoons milled flax seed (or whole flax seed), 2 teaspoons dry whole oats, and about 1 cup total of frozen strawberries, mango, and pineapple. Blend well.

Among the many healthy benefits, this smoothie packs fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, and more. This is kid-friendly as the unsweetened apple juice and fruit sweeten it just enough.
