I am and whenever I crave for a glass of smoothie, I make my own. I don´t buy those ready-made smoothies from the supermarket as I know it is too sweet for me to drink. Whenever I make my own smoothie, I choose what fruits I will use and how sweet I can make it for my own taste. I mostly use honey as a sweetener and I love the sweetness of it in my smoothie.
My ready to drink Avocado and Mango Smoothie. |
Avocado and mango are some of the fruits I use for fruit salad but are expensive here in my neck of the woods. Usually, these fruits cost more than 1 Euro a piece. I only buy them when they are in a bargain, like 0.99 cents. They were cheap and so I indulged myself again in this healthy drink.

How to decorate a glass with sugar?
So simple. Just wet the mouth of your glass with water. Then dig the wet mouth of the glass in a plate of sugar. The sugar will remain in the glass.
