Happy mama’s day! I wanted to sleep until noon, and that’s really easier said than done sometimes. I woke up very early, actually a few hours before sunrise and decided to ‘celebrate’ it by working, while my kids are still sound asleep. I can’t really say read more
Well, I wrote a whole different post and deleted. It kinda started with my “emo” moments, then I thought “who in hell had the time to read it”, so I deleted it. You came here for a recipe, so I’ll give you a recipe. I am read more
If I was not confused before, I certainly am now! Allow me to explain, please. Yesterday, I asked on 3 different social media platforms following:
When you are following a food blog, what do you like?
A) Food for Thoughts: stories about our day, events, kids, life, etc.
B) Not interested in reading, visiting only for the recipe.
C) Content related just to the published recipe.
I received mixed answers. It did not lead me anywhere at all. I am again in square one. If you would like to give me your valuable opinion, I would really appreciate it!
Leave a comment under the post or write a msg. or email ([email protected]), por favor. Thank you! I will collect all the suggestions and opinions and see how I will continue this blog.
In reality, I know we should keep it short and sweet. Keep readers engaged, not bored, and be informative, and helpful. With that being said, you all must understand that this is the corner where we can express ourselves. Do we have to be all business-like, and shoot straight to the point?
I always thought “food for thoughts” would actually make readers or followers relate more to a blogger. I am probably doing a million things wrong over here, but it is my space.
If you would like to follow my so-called blogging “Journey”, plus get the recipe at the end, you are more than welcome to stick around. I will be your entertainer and throw in the information that you will need. I can be very helpful too, if you just ask, politely!
For me personally, it depends on my mood. I actually like to know a little about the person behind the blog, so If I am the first time there I would go through a few posts and see what is that blogger about.
Then, if I can in any way relate. I am drawn to bloggers who are foodies, mostly family-oriented, of course, one that gives me information and a story that I will bite on, etc. But at the same time, I like rawness in the person, one that has an edge, says what is on their mind, and expresses it well.
So… Here, I was thinking of sharing my story about how I wanted to slap one mother on the playground, BUT, I will keep it short and sweet!
I am all for violence is never the answer, however, she totally deserved it. Maybe one of these days I will openly write about my views and opinions on motherhood, cause I am highly qualified.
Today, as you can see I am sharing SMOOTHIE of the day! Do you dig it or not, huh? I absolutely loved it, otherwise, I would not share it, duh!
This smoothie is packed with good stuff. It is vegan, fantastic cleanse, is amazing for your skin, full of vitamins, and so on. Also, it smells absolutely divine as well, plus it has a natural sweetness.

EASY AND TASTY Strawberry, Raspberry, Kiwi, Clementine Smoothie
Clementines are amazing with this combination, however, they are a cross between orange and mandarin, so naturally, you can use either as an alternative. Now, I have not tried this combo with milk or yogurt, you can. I do not see that it would be bad

I want to begin this post by saying “thank you so very, BERRY much” for all Birthday wishes. My social media accounts were flooded, and just so you know I read each of them
Since I started this humble food blog, I had a pretty amazing audience, but this year so far makes my heart melt even more, and I am still in disbelief that you really do care. So thank you again, you guys are the best!
Y’know, when you wake up and there is something on your mind?! I woke up with food pictures in front of my eyes. No shocker.
I know, believe me! Actually, it was not really a testing recipe per se, more of trying to measure ingredients, so I can set it accurately on the blog, and testing different ingredient combinations.
OK! It is kind of testing recipes. In this case, I attempted to pair Spinach, Strawberry, Mango, and Banana and see how that will work out. It’s not like I never did it before, because I did. However, normally I don’t mix more than 3 flavors together so this was an interesting combo.
I am going behind spinach even though people are still hyping over kale, which is o.k., I would say: “good for you”, but to be honest I love spinach in my smoothies more than kale.
I made kale juices many times before, usually hiding the powerful, almost pungent kale taste with some sweet fruit, but when it comes to picking which I like better, I will go with spinach, of course.
This combination works very well, and the colors are beautiful, too. It is packed with all kinds of nutrients and health benefits.
Spinach has an extremely high nutritional value and is rich in antioxidants. It is a good source of vitamins A, B2, C and K, and also contains magnesium, manganese, folate, iron, calcium, and potassium.
BANANAS are good for you! The fiber, potassium, vitamin C and B6 content in bananas all support heart health. An increase in potassium intake along with a decrease in sodium intake is the most important dietary change that a person can make to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.
Mango: Research has shown antioxidant compounds in mango have been found to protect against colon, breast, leukemia and prostate cancers. The high levels of fiber, pectin and vitamin C help to lower serum cholesterol levels. One cup of sliced mangoes supplies 25 percent of the needed daily value of vitamin A, which promotes good eyesight and dry eyes.
Strawberry: Packed with vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols, strawberries are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie food. They are among the top 20 fruits in antioxidant capacity and are a good source of manganese and potassium.
The compound nitrate found promotes blood flow and oxygen in our body, which is great for weight loss. Strawberries lower blood levels of CRP, a signal of inflammation in the body. Flavonoids, which are responsible for the color and flavors of strawberries, lower the risk for heart disease.
Now when you combine all that together, HOLY potatoes! You got yourself a pretty awesome healthy beverage, don’t you agree?
