At Jessie’s Tropical Fruit Farm, a lot of what we grow is tied directly to our family’s journey toward healthier eating.
Several years ago I started realizing that poor eating habits were affecting how I felt day to day. I was getting sick more often, feeling run down, and knew I needed to make changes at home. One of the simplest habits we started was making fresh smoothies in the mornings using real ingredients grown right here on the farm.
In this video I share one of the smoothies we enjoy regularly using fresh harvested red dragon fruit blended with banana, soursop, loquat, moringa, and purslane greens from the farm.
What fruits or greens would you add to your smoothie? Let us know in the comments.
Red dragon fruit gives the smoothie a vibrant color and refreshing flavor while the moringa and purslane help add nutrient rich greens into our daily routine. We enjoy using what is in season and experimenting with combinations straight from the orchard and garden.
One thing we have learned is that healthy eating does not have to be complicated. Having fresh ingredients available makes it much easier to build healthier habits over time.
If you are interested in tropical fruit, edible plants, farm tours, or learning more about growing nutrient dense foods in Florida, we invite you to visit us at the farm.
