Avocado Mango Smoothie
Need one more reason to love avocado? This fan-favorite fruit creates the ultimate creamy and satisfying smoothie.
Avocado is high in fiber and healthy fats, which combine to create an almost milkshake-like texture when added to smoothies. Because avocado doesn’t contribute much to the flavor, it’s a perfect base to experiment with.
The key is to add other fruit for sweetness and flavor—enter mango and lime. Mangos are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals such as copper, folate, vitamin B6, and vitamin A. Just one cup contributes 67% of the RDI For vitamin C. Bonus: the vitamin C from the mango helps your body absorb the iron in the spinach.
Add a little lime juice for fresh flavor and you have a light, fresh, and ultra-creamy smoothie ready in a matter of minutes.
