Orange-Mango Smoothie

If you like mangos, you will have to try this! Being both refreshing and nutritional, this is a perfect way to get in added fruit and other vitamins. The best part is you can either use freshly frozen fruit (if you have the time) or you can do store bought cubed frozen mangos. Accompanying your mango on the swirl-wind of a ride in your blender will be your freshly squeezed orange juice. This natural source of Vitamin C is perfect to boost your immune system and keep you healthy. Your body will thank you, so go ahead and pull that blender to make an amazing creamy mango-orange smoothie.

Yields 16 oz

Ingredients

3 cups frozen mango, diced

3 cups frozen oranges, sliced

2 cup Plain Almond Milk

5 mint leaves

1 scoop Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein Powder Unflavored, optional

Directions

Blend all ingredients until smooth.

Chef’s tip: You can change the consistency by adding more or less almond milk to the blender. If you would like, you can also add a banana to the mixture and blend until smooth.
