Reviews
I loved this recipe, but I added Half of a banana, and no ice.
yummy
I added almond milk instead of regular milk. I definitely use this recipe everyday
Instead of water an ice cubes I used frozen cherries and mangos and some unsweetened almond milk and unsweetened flaxseed milk with just enough water to get the consistency I wanted. Yummy!
I only had frozen fruit. No ice and added water until the right consistency. If I had fresh, ripe mangoes this would be even better.
I found this recipe to be very thick and I had to add more liquid just to blend it. With that said, I used coconut water with aloe vera instead of water and added nearly 2 cups and my smoothie was still on the thick side. I also added the juice from half of a lime and sprinkles unsweetened coconut on top.
Nice, simple, fruity drink. Very refreshing on a warm day. I had some very ripe mango, and since I used frozen cherries (I always have those on hand), I omitted the ice. I also added a dash of vanilla and after tasting, I added a squeeze of fresh lime. I used less water…maybe half a cup or so. Perfection, but since I like to play around with my food, I’ll probably also add a slice of fresh ginger the next time…and there’ll be a next time. 🙂 This is perfect for frozen mangoes and cherries, too, and I keep my freezer stocked with those. A new summer fave!
Really good! I got tired of pitting cherries so I had more mangoes than cherries.
The nutritional breakdown on its own is enough for most of us to try this one. I used frozen mango, so I did reduce the ice a little, and since I like smoothies a little on the thick side, reduced the water as well. I must admit that I’ve developed a taste for smoothies with a little Greek yogurt, so as a personal taste preference, I will add about 1/3 cup vanilla Greek yogurt next time. However, this is simply pure sweet fruitiness from a combination of perfectly-ripe summer fruit, and it gives you a real pop of vibrant flavor. Very nice.
