Kumquats…you either love ’em or hate ’em

Kumquats, you either love them or hate them. In my house, I’m the only one likes them, so whenever I buy some I often need to think creatively on how to eat them all up before they go bad. I do enjoy popping them in my mouth and eating them like grapes, but since they are so sour I can only eat so many like that. I can’t really toss them in dishes that are intended for the whole family, so it can be a challenge to think of ways that I can enjoy them.

To that end, the other day, after a hike in the woods, I actually came up with the idea of making a Kumquat Smoothie. I wasn’t surprised that I was the only of my peeps that liked it! Plus, if you use soy or almond milk, it’s a tasty vegan snack.

Kumquat Smoothie

kumquats (can use some other citrus fruit, if unavailable or if you don’t like kumquats)
mango
strawberries
banana
almond, soy or skim milk

1. Combine all in a blender until you got a proper smoothie consistency.
2. Since kumquats have seeds, strain before drinking.
