A friend gave us a few absolutely enormous mangoes the other day and my oldest son wanted to use one in a smoothie. He came up with all of these ingredients and he was so very proud of himself when it turned out well. (We've had a few of his smoothie creations that were less than delicious.)
This was a delicious smoothie and definitely a great one to try if you have lots of fruit already in the house! I really enjoyed this combination.
1/2 cup orange juice
2 generous handfuls of baby spinach
1 huge mango or 2 regular size mangoes, peeled and sliced off the core
2 large kiwis, peeled
2 bananas
1 medium size peach, cut in quarters, core removed
1 cup of ice
Layer the ingredients into the blender in the order listed. Using fresh ingredients will create a smoother more juice like smoothie. Using frozen bananas, peaches or mangoes will create a thicker more milkshake like consistency. Enjoy!
