3 sweet yummy smoothies

Since I've been away for a bit and not uploading so much I decided to make it up to you by uploading three recipes in one. All of these three are yummy smoothies that are somewhat healthy! The three different ones are Mango-Orange-Mint, Kiwi-Cucumber-Lime and lastly Papaya-Orange-Lime

All of these three are really yummy and the ingredients are: 

Mango-Orange-Mint:

1 mango 

½ orange

some mint leaves

½ dl milk

2 tablespoon scoops vanilla ice cream

Kiwi-Cucumber-Lime

2 kiwi fruits

¼ cucumber

½ lime

½ dl milk

2 tablespoon scoops vanilla ice cream

Papaya-Orange-Lime

½ papaya

1 orange

½ lime

1 dl milk

2 tablespoon scoops vanilla ice cream

For the Mango-Orange-Mint one start by peeling the mango and remove the stone, slice it into smaller pieces. Peel the orange, make sure there are as little of the white part left of the orange. My recommendation is that you use a knife to slice it. Tare some mint leaves in half. I used about 5-6 leaves, but it is a bit depending on how strong you want the flavour of them to be.

Add it all into a blender, together with the milk and the ice cream and blend until smooth! Serve with a sprig of mint and enjoy!

For the Kiwi-Cucumber-Lime one start by peeling the kiwi, I know that you can eat the peel, but it doesn't taste so good in the smoothie. Cut the kiwi fruits into smaller pieces. Continue doing the same with the cucumber, only you don't have to peel that one.

Add it all into a blender together with the juice of ½ lime and the milk and the ice cream and blend until smooth. Since the kiwi seeds are going in there as well the drink might be a bit grainy but that doesn't change the wonderful fresh taste. Serve with a lime wedge and enjoy! 

For the last, Papaya-Orange-Lime one start by cutting the papaya in half, you can store the other half in some cling-film in the fridge for 1-2 days. Cut the papaya into smaller pieces. Peel the orange, as previously mentioned it might be easier using a knife.

Put it all into a blender together with the lime juice of ½ lime. Lime and papaya works wonderfully together since papaya only has a mild flavor. The lime helps bring that flavor out. Add the milk and the ice cream and blend until smooth. Since papaya is quite a hard fruit the drink might turn out slightly grainy, however, the tropical flavour of the drink is well worth it. Serve and enjoy

Mango fusion - Mango marinated meat with mangosalad

Mango is one of my favorite fruits, but so fat I've only eaten it in a dessert-like manner. So I decided to go a bit further by marinating some meat and have it with a salad. This is what you need. 

ca 150 g bone free pork chop

1/3 mango

1 tbsp oil

1 tbsp soy sauce

lime juice

a few leaves of thai basil 

salt

coriander

Chop the mango, and thai basil into small pieces. Blend it together with the rest of the ingredients. Put the meat in a plastic bag and pour the marinade into it as well. If you want to you can skip the coriander, as I know that not all like the taste of it. Let the meat marinate for at least 30 min so that the sweetness of the mango infuses the meat. 

When the meat has been left to rest for a while put it in a dry pan on medium/high heat. fry it for abotu 3-5 min on each side depending on how thick the meat is, or until it the meat gets some nice color. While the meat is cooking start with the salad. What you need is 

lettuce

1/3 cucumber

1/2 mango

1/2 avocado

Slice evrything up, plate it and enjoy. The meat is sweet and a bit savory, and works great with the salad. The avocado and the mango counters each other great and it tastes wonderful!
