Yummy Daiquiri

I went on a Mediterranean cruise a year ago, and the only disappointment was that I was unable to have a daiquiri the whole time I was there! Seems that there could be strawberries for breakfast, but they were unable to make a frozen strawberry cocktail without a mix! Since the cruise, I have been working to create my own perfect strawberry daiquiri.

The Recipe

• 1 -16 oz package of frozen strawberries
  
• 2 Tsp sugar/splenda mixture
  
• 1.8 cup lime juice
  
• Enough Sprite to make it blend
  
• 3/4 cups rum

I ended up adding a bit more rum at the end, which took the balance a bit off. Overall, I'm feeling quite satisified. What a perfect drink to have along with some cinnamon buns!

Mango Lassi

Mango Lassis, what a great way to help use up ingredients in the fridge. I had yogurt around for a recipe, but I don't really care for plain yogurt that much. Mix it together with some mango pulp, and voila a wonderful drink!

Ingredients

• 1 14 oz package mango pulp (Goya)
• 1/2 package plain yogurt (~16 oz)
• small dash of milk
• 1 large spoonful of brown sugar

Refreshing Smoothie

There is nothing more refreshing than a freshly made fruit smoothie. Some people add yogurt or milk to their smoothies, I keep mine as 100% fruit. I don't even add any ice, I use frozen fruit to keep it cold. (I usually make smoothies in large batches and save some in the fridge. Adding ice just makes it way too watery for my taste.)

This smoothie has guava pulp, mango, strawberries, blueberries, orange juice, pineapple juice, and carrots. (Yes, that's right. I add veggies to my smoothies.) YUM!
