Low Oxalate Recipe: Mango Tropical Fruit Smoothie

This morning I was looking forward to trying a Low-Oxalate smoothie for breakfast. I just combined some fruits that are considered low oxalate and came up with what I think is quite a yummy recipe. My ten year-old daughter and five year-old son also had a taste and they are hooked! Next time I will have to double the recipe..

Low Oxalate Mango Tropical Fruit Smoothie:

Ingredients:

1/3c. plain, organic honey yogurt

1/4. pineapple juice

1/2 c. frozen mango cubes from Trader Joe's

1/4 c. golden raisins, soaked overnight in water, then drained

1/2 small, ripe banana

Directions:

The night before, soak raisins in water, enough water just to cover them. Cover w/ plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature, draining before using them in smoothie. *This makes the raisins easier to digest, adds fiber to a pretty fiber-less diet as well as adding sweetness. Also, soaking them creates thousands of healthy bacteria and enzymes for the body.

In a blender of food processor, place all ingredients. Pulse or puree for 1 minute. Serve in tall beverage glass. Makes 2 c. or 1 serving. You may need to double this for the kids to enjoy too!
