Smoothie of the Week - Lychee




Lychees are grown in southeast Asia with trees reaching heights up to 35 feet. The fruit's translucent, sweet white flesh, which is covered with a pink-red rind, is rich in Vitamin C.

Lychees are a gem in my book. I was introduced to lychees in a can many years ago, but found fresh lychees at the Vietnamese market a few years ago. My curiosity got the best of me, so I splurged on what seemed like fruit wrapped in gold (costwise). Nothing compares and I plan on tempting our customers with this exotic fruit smoothie. It's my favorite!
