Ruben’s red smoothie
Hi everyone!
I want to share with you a truly summery smoothie recipe that became our favorite after the very first sip! While shopping, we couldn’t stop picking out fruits—we craved the tastes of summer cold and juicy. Then we thought, why not turn these delicious fruits into a drink for an even bigger experience? It turned into quite a fun kitchen adventure! Ruben, as always, was a total partner in our culinary creativity, and this is how our best family smoothie recipe came to be:
Red Smoothie (4 servings)
(Measuring cup: a handful of a 5-year-old boy)
- 2 handfuls frozen (we couldn’t find fresh that day) black forest berries
- 1 large apple, fitting in one handful
- 1 slice of watermelon, about a quarter finger thick and wide
- 1 loose handful fresh mint leaves (we used our own dried mint since fresh was not available)
- 2 trays of ice cubes
- (A few tablespoons of water, to taste. I added just 2-3 spoons to help the blender run smoothly)

Welcome to our little virtual corner! I’m a single mother raising my wonderful son, Ruben, who has grown into a remarkable teenager. For years, I was the sole breadwinner as a Krav Maga instructor, balancing the challenges of parenthood and work on my own. When Ruben started kindergarten, I embarked on a new journey by studying healthcare management at Semmelweis University, specializing in health tourism management. After graduating, I began working in my field and experienced firsthand the tragic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as a healthcare manager in a state hospital. As the pandemic subsided, I transitioned into private healthcare, where I currently work as a practice manager. Meanwhile, our family moved from a small town to Vác, a charming historic Danube riverside city near Budapest. Here, we embrace the everyday moments and joys of life together. If you want to hear more stories about us, you’re warmly invited to visit the original Daysonpaper blog at S&Ru’s Diary on daysonpaper.blog.hu. So I decided to try living for a year on an international stage and see if there are other mothers in similar shoes for whom this diary could be a support on the harder days—just as it has been a support for me when I was able to look beyond the difficulties and sincerely believe in my own strength. Thank you for stopping by!
