The August heat is here, and I need a cold breakfast drink. If you like mangos like I do, you must try this luscious and creamy smoothie. It is both refreshing and filling. You can use fresh or frozen mango chunks. If you start with fresh mango, cut in chunks and place on a parchment covered cookie sheet. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes along with a sliced banana. Use immediately or store in a freezer container. The frozen banana and mango adds a creamy smoothness reminiscent of ice cream. Yum!
This is also a fabulous afternoon snack or even a dessert that is filled with antioxidants. Research shows that antioxidant compounds found in mango help protect against a long list of cancers. Besides that, it helps with eye health, gut health, lowers cholesterol and more. Add low fat Greek yogurt for protein, a frozen banana, and juice and in 5 minutes you have a frozen, lush treat that is good for you! Surprise family and friends with a fast dessert in a pretty glass with optional garnish of fruit.

How nice if I can have one mango smoothie now! Looks so yummy!
Somehow or another I always end up with your recipes at lunch time when I’m starving. 🙂 This is so doable and healthy. My husband will love this one. TFS
Sounds good…I bookmarked this one…..it is even hot in Oregon this week! Supposed to reach 100, which is unheard of here! Eek.
It’s been so hot here in the UK the last few days and this sounds like heaven right now!
The heat and humidity are coming back to our neck of the woods. This smoothie sounds like a must-try!
