Mango Yogurt Smoothie

Mango time! Tickle your taste buds with this simple, yet flavorful and nutritious mango yogurt smoothie.

It seemed like it took an eternity for the mangoes I received in a recent Door to Door Organics delivery to ripen. Once they did, I went to town. There were many parties in my mouth including one from this smoothie :)

Not only are mangoes delicious, they impart some nice health benefits as well. Those health benefits include:

• Boosts your immune system
• Alkalizing effect on the body
• Good for your skin (internally and externally)
• Promote good eyesight
• Contain health promoting antioxidants
• Support healthy digestion
• Support healthy cholesterol levels

One ripe mango renders about one cup of mango. The recipe below calls for 1/2 cup mango. Feel free to use the full cup. I didn’t because the sugar content would have been higher than I like.

There are a bunch of add-ons listed to take this smoothie in several different directions depending on your preferences and what you have on hand. However, I didn’t include a single add-on and it was quite tasty. Opt for a plain, whole milk or full fat-yogurt. I used a plain, homemade yogurt. Greek yogurt is also a good option. Enjoy!
