The summer heat is here, and I need a cold breakfast, lunch or snack 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 add 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 or a tablespoon of protein powder, a frozen banana, & 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.
