That Tropical Christmas Smoothie is calling my name! I've had a lot of persimmons lately, they're super delicious. π
It's been a few weeks since I've participated but this week I'm back with a chocolate dream: π

The starfruit in your Christmas smoothie definitely transports real festive vibes and I was always a big fan of persimmons, great mixture!
For this week's challenge I join with a winterly salad, suitable for the upcoming cold season in the Northern hemisphere. So get your kale ready and chop up your apples...

Howdy Miss Lena! oh wow, what are those star shaped things on your plate? But in regards to the contest I already know the winner. It's the Chocolate Dream, hands down, no competition! lol.
Howdy Janton, those star shape things is starfruit, but it's just for decoration. It doesn't have much taste. Did you read the recipe? Since you always asking for smoothie recipes ,lol.
As far the winner, well, I am not the judge, but I agree, that cake looks dreamy, lol.
howdy back Miss Lena...the starfruit is just for decoration? You mean there is a fruit which is not good to eat? Maybe if it's good for you it would pick up the tastes of other fruit in a fruit salad. Yes I read the recipe but what does Maca powder do? Does it taste like anything? But yes you just throw those fruits in a blender right?
I think the star fruit tastes better if it is picked from the tree or bough on the local market of it's origin, which is Indonesia. I am sure it can be good in the salad, but I used it twice in the photoshoot, so it's done, lol.
And yes, everything in the blende and Maca powder has taste, but it is very mild.
Didn't we already talked about MACA POWDER? Maca root powder has become popular due to benefits which may include increased energy levels, vitality and endurance, healthy sexual function and libido, reduced anxiety and stress, healthy brain function and balancing healthy hormone levels to help relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes.
good memory Miss Lena! Yes we did talk about it but I didn't know if it had any taste or flavor to it. Well that's interesting about the Star fruit, so it probably isn't good unless you can pick it in Indonesia!
Yes, I do have pretty good memory when comes to things like this, lol. Superfoods, such as maca, matcha, spirulina, chia seeds, flaxseed meal and hemp seeds are adding to meals for the nutritional value, not for the flavor. They do have their own taste, however, it is hardly noticeable when only small amount is mixed with other more flavorful ingredients.
I guess I will be able to tell you for sure about the starfruit when I go to Indonesia, lol.
oh wow Miss Lena, when are you going to Indonesia? or was that a joke? Some of those things you mentioned like chia and flaxseed would be good to put on salads wouldn't they, to add to the nutrition?
