Mango Berry Spring Rolls and Meal Planning

10 Comments

mango berry spring rollsMango Berry Spring rolls Great Low calorie dessert great for diabetic and reduced calorie.  I love the season of Spring because strawberries become a local season fruit. There is noting like a strawberry raw, cooked or any way to get me in a spring mood.  Then you add possible my favorite fruit Mangoes.. let just say mangoes are great on almost anything  from fish, salsa , chocolate .. the list goes on on.   Then I discovered at the grocery store a cactus fruit,  hum never tried them.  They are a fruit with lets say a spikey attitude.

Cactus Fruit Or Prickly Pear have the consistence of a watermelon seeds and all.  The flavor is mild,  but there are seed you eat.  The skin on the other hand .. it is a cactus .. so the spikes do get in your fingers, and they are fine so you can see, but feel them ouch!.   They look pretty when cut the pear open. You handle them covering your fingers  with a paper towel and you and peel them like you would a Kiwi.  (you can also omit the Cactus Pear if you don’t want to deal with them)

This recipe was Adapted from Alaska From Scratch Apple Pie Egg Rolls
