Sapote Antioxidant smoothie

When I decided to transition my diet to all plant-based I was advised to find one farmer I love and become friend with them. Farmer Steve has been my favorite farmer so far. He has exposed me to fruits I didn’t even know existed like Jujube, Cher, and Sapote. What in the world is a Sapote?! Have you have any of these fruits before?

Sapote is an exotic fruit that originated from South America. It’s round with multiple seeds, soft like a pear but creamy in texture like a Banana with a very distinctive taste. Fortunately for me, it’s not too sweet so I can use it as a banana replacement in smoothie.

I paired the Sapote with an Antioxidant blend. The blendies are so convenient for an added nutrient to your smoothie with ingredient like dragon fruit, goji berries, acai berries, which all helps to fight free radicals. This action packed nutrients also promotes healthy skin, hair and nails. It’s naturally colored with beetroot, which contains vitamin A to boost the immune system.

Sapote with this blendie blended with yogurt and almond milk was a secret match made in heaven! Keep reading for this love affair recipe!

Sapote Antioxidant Recipe

Ingredients.

1 sapote fruit, cut and frozen
½ of plant based yogurt
1 antioxidant blend
½-1 cup of almond milk
handful of ice
Fruit of choice for topping
Chia pudding (optional)

Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until it’s smooth and creamy. Topped with fruits and enjoy!

Vanilla Chai Smur-fait
What’s a smur-fait? Well you’re looking at it! It’s a blue chia parfait. My roommate who’s holding the parfait in the picture came up with the name smurf parfait pudding; for lack of better name I’m using his suggestion.

Chia pudding are not a secret in the vegan/plant based community, in fact I think its one of the most used super food in smoothies or parfait. My problem is I don’t like chia pudding. Am I the only one who doesn’t like Chia pudding? The texture and consistency is just not my favorite…. or so I thought. I accidently woke up one Sunday morning and created this recipe because I believe in multiple chances and different approach to making one recipe. An accidental recipe is now my only favorite version of chia pudding.
Blue Chai tea is a tea company located in Germany who sells organic color changing blue tea for baking, foods, and cocktails. The tea is blue when brewed but turns Pink/ purple when lemon is added. How amazing does that sound! A natural food dye that changes color when lemon is added. When one of my cyber friend told me I about it I was instantly obsessed, especially when I found out it turns pink. I’m a sucker for anything pink.

Don’t forget to let me know when your try this recipe or the tea!

"The books reflect and celebrate todays multicultural society. Every child deserves to have access to books that evolve around characters that they can identify with.
The books also help break barriers and prejudice which in turn opens up a whole new world to children who have yet to experience cultures outside of their own." thank you so much for including me in this project!. Check out the other contributors: http://www.lovebooks.org.uk/
