Highly nutritious mangoes or papayas take on equally nutritious Greek yogurt in my tropical Mango/Papaya Yogurt Smoothie that ticks many healthful choices: antioxidant vitamins A and C, as well as folate, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and minerals such as calcium, copper, magnesium and potassium. Oh, and did I say 10 grams of protein? Or live cultures with probiotics for digestive health? Besides, it tastes pretty luscious, too!

My Coffee Caribbean provides the flavor you seek, with ease of preparation, and for pennies after initial investments. And a little bit of spice adds just the kickstart. Love these ideas, but can’t stomach caffeine? Decaf works great, too!

It delivers cold coffee, enveloped in banana-sweet goodness with yummy peanut butter that lends its unmistakable peanutty taste and texture. A perfect blend that meets all your needs. Just wow!
