    Smoothie is filling and low on fat, ideal for those who are looking for a low fat diet or healthy and filling food to have as breakfast.

    Cantaloupe, Carrot and Beetroot smoothie is tasty and vibrant in colour. The cantaloupe gives a good flavour to it.

    I have recently joined the Bloggers Swap Challenge group and we are paired in groups. The pair has to prepare a dish from the other persons blog, a nice way to explore and cook from our co-bloggers blog.

    I had to create a dish from Nayna Kanabar’s blog www.simplysensationalfood.com Soon, I did hop to her blog. Nayna has a good collection of dishes from salads to desserts, do check them out. She has also got two books published. Among all the recipes what caught my attention were her smoothies. She has a wide range of different variations  and I  loved this Purple Carrot, Melon and Beetroot Smoothie the most. I did follow the recipe with a slight variation.  I  used the regular carrots instead of the purple ones and it was awesome.
