Healthy Drink: Carrot-Mango Smoothie

There was a nurse-volunteer in our hospital who owns the only vegetarian restaurant in our city. We used to order food from her for lunch while on duty. One of my favorites from their restaurant is the carrot juice. I wasn't a fan of carrot juice until I tasted their carrot juice. And since I don't see her much lately and I could not order carrot juice anymore, I decided to make my own carrot juice.

This carrot juice has a twist since it's not just plain carrot juice, but a carrot-mango juice/smoothie!

RECIPE: healthy lunch

I don't know what this dish is called because I just made this up in my mind. Maybe it has a name but purely this was just an experiment. I've been cooking this dish once in a while since 2010. My grandmom told me to cook, I looked at the refrigerator, and just used what I could use. Later on, I realized that I've been cooking a healthy dish because I dont't use oil (but the meat's natural oil), less salt is needed, I use very lean meat (ground pork), and vegetable are included in the dish.

Nutritional Benefits of this dish:
