Mango, Blood Orange and Banana Smoothie

What is a pure happiness for you? For me it’s when I get up at 6 am and leave my place in shorts and T-shirt. I buy a perfect cup of coffee from a friendly barrister who has a small chat with me and then I sit on a beach and watch sunrise. I am not by myself, it’s 6:30 am but beach is full of people running, exercising, playing rugby, doing yoga, surfing, swimming or simply sitting as I am. Maybe it’s because of a view, colours on the sky or the feeling that I am back in the best city in the world (subjective opinion), but each morning I laugh at loud, as I am simply happy.

I left Sydney 5 years ago and during the period of being away I used to tell people that for me it’s the best city in the world. But as time kept passing I was afraid that I’ve created an unique but fake picture. We have tendency to forget things, to make it look and sound better with time that it actually was. But you know what, I wasn’t wrong, it is a perfect piece of the world.

I enjoy each minute of being here, I discover the city piece by piece. And there’s so much to discover. If you don’t know Sydney, there’s a nice website of my friend Magda – Daily Dose of Sydney, where she uploads one picture per day. It’s a pleasant thing to get to know a place through someone’s eye, especially when this someone takes great pictures. And if you’re curious how I am enjoying Sydney, check out my travel blog.

You will need:

• 1 banana
• juice from 2 blood oranges
• ½ mango
• 1 cup soy milk

Place everything in a blender and you know what to do ;).

Enjoy, Marta.
