Calories: 241kcal
Ingredients
- 1 mango about 1 cup mango cubes
- ½ ripe banana
- ¼ cup cubed avocado from about ½ avocado
- ½ cup frozen pineapple
- 4 teaspoons lime juice plus lime slices, to garnish
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 8 ounces cold coconut water
Instructions
- Slice off both lobes of a mango (on opposite sides of the flat pit in the middle).
- Press a mango lobe against the edge of a glass, so that the glass is between the mango peel and the flesh. Press down to remove the peel, and let the mango flesh slide into the glass.
- Repeat for the 2nd lobe, then chop the mango flesh.
- Trim around the edges of the remaining mango and remove any more mango flesh that you can find. You should have about a cup of chopped mango.
- Add chopped mango to a blender jar, then add banana, avocado, pineapple, lime juice, and ginger.
- Pour in coconut water.
- Blend smoothie for about 30 seconds, or until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into two glasses, and garnish with lime slices.
Notes
- When you have extra ripe bananas that you don’t think you’ll eat before they turn black, peel them, cut them in half, and freeze them in freezer bags. This is a great way to always have bananas on-hand so you can throw them into smoothies as needed. Same goes for when you have extra avocados!
- Replacing fresh fruit with frozen fruit will result in a thicker smoothie, and you’ll need to add more liquid to compensate.
- Not sweet enough for you? Add in some honey or maple syrup if your mangoes are particularly tart.
- Want to add some extra protein or dietary fiber to this smoothie? You could add some protein powder or blend in some Greek yogurt. Try adding hemp seeds or chia seeds as well, either blended in the smoothie or as a topping.
