Smoothie punch

During the summers, I rather look for something to drink than eat. So while fishing the internet for some good recipes, I came through this tempting Italian smoothie.

The fruits I used in this recipe had a very strong sour taste to it but the final smoothie, was absolutely yummy, especially the vanilla twist.

You can very much substitute the fruits used in here with any fruits you have at home irrespective of it being a sweet or sour dominant fruit, but yes, if you are using a sweet fruit make sure to reduce the sugar quantity.

Ingredients:

Strawberry: 7 to8 in numbers Slit in the middle

Mango: 2 (peeled and diced.)

Orange: 2 deseeded

Sugar: 1/2 cup

Vanilla essence: 1 drop

Preparation:

Mix the strawberries, mangoes and oranges with vanilla essence and sugar in a bowl and keep aside for 2 hours. DO NOT ADD WATER. Make a smooth paste of the mixture and refrigerate it before serving. If the smoothie tastes too sweet, add a little water to it. But the best would be to alter the sugar amount initially than adding water.
