Mango smoothie anyone? Mango trees are abundant down here, and it is full-on mango season in Miami. Mangoes are rather high in sugar as far as fruit goes, so as much as I love it I don’t tend to eat loads. However I’ve been gifted mangoes straight from the trees lately.

Well it’s official – I’m on an avocado smoothie kick! After last week’s green superfood avocado smoothie, I decided to get inspiration from my own recipe and made a dark chocolate avocado smoothie.

And making it on a Monday. I woke up with a serious case of the Monday Blues yesterday. I’ve been getting over a stubborn cold, haven’t been sleeping […]

Chocolate bars. Nutella crepes. Chocolate chip cookies. Melted chocolate. Chocolate truffles. Brownies. Double chocolate chip cookies… You get the point. But […]
