Thalia @ butter and brioche says
I love this orange power smoothie! I often make smoothies but mandarins and apricots are not ingredients that I regularly use - so definitely inspired to try this out.
The Petite Cook says
This was exactly my thought Thalia 🙂 I had these beautiful apricots and mandarins sitting in the fridge and I just kinda wanted them altogether. It was actually the first time I used apricots in a smoothie, but they're so delicious and naturally sweet that will become a regular smoothie ingredient this summer 🙂
Maliene Brannon says
Three members of my family have diabetes: a brother-in-law, a nephew and an uncle. I do not see any recipes directed at diabetic diets and wonder if you have any. Diabetes is a growing problem in the USA and is a terrible, terrible disease, often resulting in loss of limbs, blindness, nerve damage, as well as other problems. Please let me know if, other than the sugar-free deserts, you have other recipes for diabetics. Thank you so very much.
The Petite Cook says
Hi Maliene, thank you so much for bringing diabetes issues to my attention. I'm so sorry to hear about your family, but thank you for asking my help, I feel honored. I will go deeper into the matter, get all the info I can and I promise you I will develop recipes that are diabetes-friendly for you and your family to use. Let me consult a doctor as well so we can be 100% sure they are suitable :).
