Strawberry Tangy Minty Punch

What do i do with my bowl of  strawberries today?

Pack some salad for my hubby's lunch box and then......do some strawberry icecream which i bookmarked. Why not surprise him by making an unusual combination for the salad. He loves the mango flavour. why not some mint ?
Seasonal fruit/veg tastes at its best. We strongly believe in growing organic food. We didn't use any pesticides to grow these berries and mint.Seasonal foods are super foods!

Ingredients:
Mango - 1
Strawberries - 1 punnet
Mint - few leaves

Pre-requisites:
1.Slice in the strawberries

2. Peel the skin of mangoes , remove the seed and dice into small cubes

3. Chop the mint leaves and reserve some for the decoration

Preparation Method:

Use  the sliced mangoes for making the pulp and reserve some chunks to add to the salad

Blend the mangoes into a pulp using the blender

Add the pulp to the sliced strawberries

Pop in the surprise flavour of chopped mint

Mix well by adding in the remaining mango slices

I just loved it. Especially , the minty flavour went on well with this combo. I made it sugar free as the fruits were sweet enough.

How to name it ?

Event Announcement - Strawberry Preservation Fundas

Strawberries are my most favourite berries . My garden is loaded with hundreds of these lovely berries every year. I'm tired of following the routine preservation recipes like jam, juice concentrates etc... I've kept my blog private and shared it with only my friends and family . Now my blog is open for anyone to view , I would like to invite our innovative fellow bloggers to come up with Strawberry Preservation Fundas!

I'm hoping to get variety of preservation techniques and the collected recipes will be my treasure to preserve my organic strawberries in the years to come by.

This is the first ever event i'm hosting and my honest attempt to preserve the strawberries.When i say hundreds i really mean it. Check out the first basket of strawberries from my garden and help me preserve these healthy berries..............

An inspiring App on my iPhone

I feel having an exercising machine at home doesn't tempt me to do any workouts. Probably because of the mindset that it's available 24/7. My hubby has installed an inspiring App on my iPhone called Runstart. Techically it's a very simple application but when i started using it today i feel  motivated to walk/jog more. It shows some interesting information about the amount of calories you burn based on the activity chosen like Walking, Running etc...
