5 Minute Mango Applesauce Recipe - All Natural Snack Idea

Delicious, healthy, and ridiculously easy to make; you only need a few pieces of fruit and a few minutes to make this whole-foods snack. 

This is a high carbohydrate snack that’s loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants; this would be a great pre-workout snack. Aside from being nutritious, it tastes awesome.

You will need:
A blender 
1 mango, washed, peeled & cored
2 apples, washed & cored but not peeled (a good portion of the vitamin C is right under the skin)
cinnamon, optional, to taste; I added ¼ tsp 

How to
Wash & prepare the fruit, toss into the blender along with the cinnamon & the rest is history. Between washing and peeling the fruit & blending, this will literally require less than 5 minutes of your time to whip up (unite, fellow lazy people!). 

The recipe above made about 1 ½  cups of mango applesauce. This time it fed two people; I shared it with Daniel but truth be told, next time I will at least double the recipe to have more for myself!

With ingredients like these, variations are endless and it’s really hard to go wrong. You can always try modifying the amounts of each fruit, and there are many options when it comes to mixing up the flavor. For example, I love cinnamon. I could easily double or triple the amount of cinnamon we listed on the ingredients above (Daniel is not as huge a fan as I am). 

Other flavor combinations to add & experiment with:
Vanilla
Maple syrup 
Ginger
Bake the apples before blending for even more of a warming treat 
Squeeze the juice from half of an orange into the mix
Try adding different fruits into the mix; blueberries, peaches, strawberries, raspberries, & bananas are just a few of the options that would all taste great

Can you think of any other variations? Share below!

Why Open Relationships Dont Work

There’s no worse feeling out there than laying in your bed alone knowing your girlfriend is sleeping over at another guy's house. Trust me, open relationships aren’t for everyone. Like many people in their early 20s, I fell into my open relationship by way of a girlfriend who cheated on me and wanted our love to last. I was 20 years old, totally naive, and driven by the idea of appearing adult; all I had was my little apartment in the North End of Boston and a controlling girlfriend who gave me a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome. We had been together since the end of high school and her method of dictating my life was the only way I knew how to do things. During winter break, in which she was home, she cheated on me and tearfully admitted it a month later. I was brokenhearted, but as determined as she was to keep the relationship going. At the time, I thought she was the one and would stop at nothing to make sure we lasted. She suggested opening ourselves up to other pe...
