Ripe mango adds sweetness and avocado adds creaminess to this veggie-packed green smoothie. A great way to start the day!
I found some champagne mangos on sale at the store this week, and I thought they would be a great addition to a smoothie.
I loved using kale as a super hearty and healthy base for the smoothie I made yesterday, and I loved the creaminess that the avocado added, so I used those ingredients again, too.
This time, I also added some cooling cucumber and some parsley. The addition of ice made it much better this time around. I think I’ll use this method from now on.
It was just cold enough without being too much like a shake. I really enjoyed this smoothie! It makes about a glass and a half for me, which is perfect since my son sucks down about 1/3 of it haha!
