Gloomy Day Smoothie
“This smoothie is so bright, cheerful, and delicious, it is like a blast of sunshine on even the most rainy, windy days!”
Original recipe makes 4 servings PREP: 10 mins. READY IN: 10 mins.
Ingredients:
1 mango, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
1 banana, peeled and chopped
1 cup orange juice
1 cup vanilla non-fat yogurt
Directions:
- Place mango, banana, orange juice, and yogurt in a blender. Blend until smooth. Serve in clear glasses, and drink with a bendy straw!
Idea Choices:
- Can use homemade vanilla ice cream instead of yogurt. A very tropical tasting and has a pretty, pastel peachy color. Frozen mango ensured this was good and cold!
- It makes delicious popsicles, too!
