Fresh Fruit

One thing we love about Nicaragua is the fresh fruit that's readily available. Some sort of yummy, healthy fruit is available during every season of the year. Granted, the Nicaraguan climate means that some of our favorite fruits don't grow here (like peaches, strawberries, and blueberries). But there's more than enough other flavors to make up for it.

One of our favorite fruit creations is a papaya fruit smoothie. We put papaya, bananas, the juice from 2 or 3 oranges, and plain yogurt into a blender and enjoy a delicious and healthy snack for only about $0.35 a serving. Sure beats the $4.00 smoothies that you can buy in the US!
