Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smo Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smoothies made with my favorite fruit combinations. I made smoothies with SunGold Kiwi-Mango, SunGold Kiwi-Strawberry, and SunGold Kiwi-Mixed Berry for myself and the kids. In our summer smoothie, we love the high vitamin C content of sweet & refreshing SunGold kiwi. These smoothies are simple to make and quite tasty. If you've noticed, one of my favorite fruits in smoothies is kiwi. I discovered these SunGold @zesprikiwifruit @shopritestores and purchased two boxes (they come in a 1 pound pack) along with my grocery shopping from our local ShopRite. I purchased everything I'll need to create smoothies.

Transport yourself to the tropics with tangy sweet Transport yourself to the tropics with tangy sweet Passion Fruit Kulfi, made with fresh passion fruit pulp, hint of cardamom and saffron. Perfect way to enjoy tropical fruit in summer. If you are fan of mango, pineapple, lemon kind of tropical fruits, then you will love this passion fruit flavor in this Indian style kulfi dessert. My kids are crazy for this Kulfi. Sweet tangy flavor of passion fruit works well in fruit desserts, drinks and even some savory dishes. Earlier, I made Passion Fruit Panna Cotta and Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito, but kulfi will always in top of the list.
