VLOG #1- Mango and Kiwi

by bhealthy on October 11, 2011

Good Morning Readers! Last week I posted a Recipe of The Week for Simple Glazed Salmon. We paired it with a Kiwi Mango chutney, which was also fantastic! I thought I’d share how I have learned how to cut mango and kiwi in a special post this morning- My first attempt at a VLOG.

So now that you know how to cut mango and kiwi, here is the recipe for that chutney again:

Kiwi Mango Chutney

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup diced, peeled mango
  • 1/2 cup diced, peeled kiwifruit
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice

Preparation:

  • Combine all ingredients
  • Serve

Kiwi provides as much potassium as bananas actually, and they also contain a hefty dose of Vitamin C, fiber, flavanoids, and phytonutrients. Their black seeds are very similar to chia seeds, when crushed they make an omega-3 rich oil.

Mango is also rich in Vitamin C and fiber too. The Vitamin E present in mangoes is anywhere from to 2.3 to 3 mg of Vitamin E per mango! Mangoes are thought to improve digestion, reduce LDL cholesterol and help clear clogged pores.

Let me know what you think of the VLOG !!!?? Like I said, first attempt.

    Thanks kbelle!  I was horrified- my videographer had a BIG part in my confidence that I should just try it out and see if it works. This was the one and only we took – I had to clear my throat in the beginning and I forgot to say a few things to tie it all together. Your feedback is so wonderful to hear so THANK YOU for watching and reading and commenting!
