This is my first recipe blog in almost two years, so I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoy eating this recipe. Seriously-- You can't even tell that it only has two ingredients...
There is a woman who comes into the restaurant where I work who always orders our strawberry mango smoothie without the strawberries-- this leaves just the frozen mango bits, and juice. I water-falled the leftovers into my mouth before washing out the blender like I usually do (hey, don't judge-- free smoothie samples, duh), and realized that this woman is a damn smoothie genius! So simple, yet so satisfying-- why didn't I think of that?! :-)
Here's the recipe:
- 1 cup frozen mangos
- 1/3 cup lemonade, apple, or pineapple juice
** I use a fancy-ass Vitamix, which is basically the Ferrari of blenders. If you using a lower-grade blender, then you might have trouble blending this into a sorbet consistency. Just try stopping the blender every so often to mix everything around, and keep on grindin'! Also, try adding in a little bit more juice, and it can be a mango smoothie-- just as delicious, I promise!
- Add in frozen berries and liquid
- Blend
- Add in more juice if needed to make smooth.
- Enjoy!
