BananaRazzango Smoothie

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so obviously it's important to make your breakfast as good and as healthy for you as you can to start your morning off right. We love eating breakfast smoothies at our house and we're always trying new ones. I've found that I typically like to eat (or drink) sweeter smoothies over tart ones.

This tangy breakfast smoothie, however, combines the sweetness I love along with fruits that add just a spark of tartness. Enjoy the delicious flavor of vanilla, raspberries, bananas, and mangoes all in one heart-healthy breakfast.

Easy Garlic Guacamole

Lately I've been getting quite a bit of practice mixing spices, herbs, berries, and more to create different blends of butters and dips, complete side dishes and entrees (not to mention desserts--my favorite!), and more! With all of this practice, I am definitely learning a lot!

The other night I made up this mouthwatering guacamole that I swear will have you coming back for more no matter the dish you plan to eat (not pancakes though... ;) ). And the best part about making this savory dip: it's super simple with only three ingredients!

Let's get started:

Ingredients:
3 Small Avocados
2 TBS Mayonnaise
1 tsp Garlic Salt

Directions:
1. Remove avocado from peel. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash avocado pieces with a spoon or beaters until smooth, leaving as little avocado chunks left as possible.
2. Mix in Mayo and Garlic Salt
3. You're done! Use your delicious guacamole on practically any dish for an easy way to impress guests and family members alike.

I'm sorry I don't have a photo for this guy, but trust me...it looks just as amazing as it tastes! I'll try to upload one later.

What do you like to blend into your homemade guacamole?
