Mango Bliss Frozen Smoothie

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!
