Mango Beet Smoothie

Beets are full of nutrients and help in the lowering of blood pressure, cholesterol, and in cleansing the liver. This recipe, Mango Beet Smoothie is a low calorie, refreshing smoothie which is made with only beets,mangoes and water. Though this recipe is made with these ingredients, one could add a low fat yogurt, fat free milk, almond milk, soy milk in place of the water and that will equally be fine. Those that prefer to add some leafy greens like spinach is okay as well, the sky is the limit when it comes to reaping the benefits of beets and other fruits and vegetables. Is a very great idea since I did not add ice to refrigerate the smoothie before taking for those that like their smoothies very cold. This is a healthy sugar free recipe which is great for any day and occasion. Please give it a try and tell me what you think!!

School Lunches

Meat Lovers and Vegetarian Pasta dishes are quick and easy to make. These are some of the meals I have made over the years for our kids to send to school for lunch. The tomato sauce can be made with any tomato sauce, or fresh or canned tomatoes, the other ingredients can be varied as well and this recipe will come out great as well. As shown in the video one can make this with ground meats or other meats or with no meat at all. One can equally prepare the vegetables a day before to further shorten the time need in recipe preparation. For those who prefer to use shrimp, that should equally be fine as well. This will be lunch for tomorrow for school.
