MANGO SMOOTHIE
You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, chopped -- (approx. 1-1/4 cups) 3/4 cups milk, skim -- chilled 1/4 cups nonfat vanilla yogurt 3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 ice cubes Pinch of salt Fresh mint sprigs
Combine all ingredients except mint in blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Garnish with mint.
Deliciously rich in anti-oxidants, potassium and fiber, an average sized mango can contain up to 40% of your daily fiber requirement.
Mangos are high in fiber, but low in calories (approx. 110 per average sized mango), fat (only 1 gram) and sodium.
