I planned to share few Valentine's Day special recipes but because of my personal issues I could not make it up this time.

I know the answer will be a big No. So a simple, hearty and delicious Pink treat for your loved ones.
This is a simple Strawberry Milkshake with Vanilla Ice cream and Almonds. Almonds have paired well with strawberries and milkshake tasted so delicious. More than my kids i loved it a lot.

Fresh Papaya Juice / Papaya Grape Juice - Vegan Papaya Juice

For Vegan Thursday today I am sharing a simple but healthy Juice Recipe using Papaya, Grape and Strawberry. We take Papaya regularly and for me its a compulsory since Papaya has tons of nutritional benefits - good for Eyes, skin and the high content Anti oxidants helps to reduce cholesterol and also controls premature ageing, the high fiber and low calorie nature helps in weight loss and a natural blood purifier and body cleanser. So without fail at least once in a month I take papaya. This time the Papaya was bit over ripe but mostly i like the perfectly ripe fruits not the over ripe ones except the Mangoes. So again the over ripe Papaya turned into this delicious drink along with some grape, strawberry and with the hint of lemon. Over all a power packed drink with tons of benefits and filling drink that is perfect for breakfast or take it as a snack when you are on diet or if you need a healthy, low calorie & filling snack. As all my fruits were well ripe and sweet i added only 1/2 tsp to balance the sweet & sour.

There's no special themes, rules for this group and is mainly to share vegan recipes. For this Thursday am happy to share a Healthy & delicious Vegan Drink - Mighty Mango with the King Fruit Mango & mixed fruits(apple,orange,banana with a hint of lemon) combo. So healthy, tasty and loaded with all necessary nutrition. Sometime back my H bought an organic drink named, Mighty Mango. The colour of the drink attracted my kids and they wanted to get it for them or else we won't buy any bottled drinks for kids. That store bought Mighty Mango was a combo for mixed fruit juice with mango flavor dominating and thus it named as "Mighty Mango" (i think so). We loved the drink and as its organic without preservatives we used to buy once in a while n enjoy.
As now its a Mango season i wanted to try it at home, so with the help of the fruit proportions given in the bottle i tried it and the juice came out so good. The colour of the juice was so refreshing and taste also so so good than the store bought ones. This juice stays good in the refrigerator for 2 days, only thing because of apples and banana the colour of the juice turned little dark on the second day. Otherwise it was so delicious, filling and more healthy to give ur kids & a perfect drink for anyone who love fruits. Now off to the recipe...
