Mango season would be totally deprived of it glory if you don't try this delicious mango berry smoothie. It is packed with nutrients and fresh seasonal fruits. You should definitely try this before the mangoes vanish from the market.

Mangoes are a versatile and an interesting fruit. You can add them in slushies, cakes, ice-creams, salads, smoothiesdipspickles, or sweet-dishes. Though, I don't love mango so much but I love adding them in smoothies.

I've also added 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries. They are a popular summer treat which gives a fresh and crisp flavor to the smoothie. Blueberries are packed with various health benefits, and can make the smoothie more wholesome and nutritious, and, it's texture is extremely surprising.

After a bit of trial and error, I used some of the most healthful smoothie ingredients like -

Fruits - Mango, Blueberries
Thickener - Greek yogurt, Ice cubes (optional)
Liquid base - Almond milk, Water (optional)
Flavoring - Vanilla extract, Honey
Protein and Fats - Nuts and seeds for toppings

Toss the ingredients in, blend and you are all set! It’s super easy, super light, super refreshing and a very healthy smoothie recipe.

Hope you love this healthy breakfast smoothie recipe. Let me know in the comment section below!
Much love!

MANGO BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE




Serves : 2 People
Preparation time : 5 minutes
Total time : 5 minutes
Author : The Food Root

Ingredients


2 fresh ripe mangoes
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup plain or greek yoghurt
1/2 cup almond milk
1 teaspoon, vanilla extract
2-3 tbsp water (optional)
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
3-4 pieces crushed ice (optional)


Garnish with your choice of fruits, nuts and seeds.

I added -
2 almonds, crushed
2 walnuts, crushed
2 pistachios, crushed
1 tbsp, pomegranate seeds
1 tbsp, cantaloupe seeds

Method


1. Peel the mangoes & cut them into small pieces.

2. In a blender, combine mango chunks, blueberries, greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract and water. Blend for 2-3 minutes, until smooth.

3. Add a little sweetener - honey or maple syrup, if you like.

4. Add crushed ice and blend again for 2-3 minutes.

5. Pour the mango blueberry smoothie in a bowl and garnish with your favourite toppings like fruits, nuts and seeds. Serve fresh and enjoy! 


Notes


1. If you want to keep your smoothie vegan, you can use coconut, hemp, soy or almond milk else you can also use the nonfat milk.

2. If you prefer a thicker consistency, use less liquid. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more liquid.

3. You can also add frozen fruits or add crushed ice to make your smoothie slightly slushy.
