Sprouts Comes to Town

Sprouts Grocery Store opened here yesterday and I couldn't resist a trip to check it out.  Though it was extremely crowded the prices and quality of the produce were worth the crowds.  I picked up a pineapple for $1, and 3 mangos for $1 all to make a fresh Mango Pineapple Salsa for dinner. 

 First I chopped up some fresh mango and pineapple

Then added some cilantro

I typically prefer to add red onion but only had white onion on hand

and last but not least a squeeze of fresh lime and a dash of sea salt

And here it is

Perfect pair for any white fish and some coconut rice!

Mango yogurt pops

I recently purchased these popsicle molds from Ikea for $1.50.  The girls and I had a go at our first recipe from Pinterest. The recipe follows the pics.

I halved the recipe and added 1 tablespoon of honey to the mix.  I loved the taste of them as did my 7 year old.  However they were not sweet enough for my 4 year old.

Ingredients

• For the Mango and Yogurt Ice Pops:
• 2 cups Greek style natural yogurt
• 2 large ripe mangoes, flesh only
