One of the greatest parts about living here in Tola, is the abundance of good, cheap fresh fruit. Every morning, Daddy blends up a big batch of smoothies packed full of healthy goodness. Our weekly grocery run to Rivas always includes a trip to the market for one giant papaya, two cantaloupes, one pineapple, two pints of strawberries and two dozen bananas. (yes! strawberries - a recent find.) We also discovered a woman in the market who sells one pound bags of chia seed for sixty cordoba, which is about $2.50 and a gringo named Salad Steve who sells huge bags of fresh kale for $5 - which is a little bit of a splurge but definitely worth it, as its hard to find good hearty greens down here. We also found acai juice at Pricesmart so, we'd pretty much rival any Jamba Juice if they happened to move in up the block. I think I'll write a post and share some of our smoothie recipes with you. We think we've got some good ones.
