Mango and banana are loaded with vitamins and fiber which is great for your digestion. Lemon juice on the other hand, adds a tangy kick to the smoothie, takes the flavor up a notch and also boost your immune system. And as for honey, it’s a healthier alternative for your regular processed sugar. If you’re vegan, you can substitute honey with maple syrup.
How To Make Mango Banana Smoothie
- Assuming that all your fruits are peeled and sliced, dump them the blender, along with lemon juice, and either honey or syrup. Hit the blend button and let it work its magic.
- As the fruits blend smoothly, add your almond milk gradually while the blender still running. Adjust the thickness of your smoothie by adding more or less milk to your liking.
- Add a handful of ice for a super chilled effect, blend one last time and pour it to your glass. Enjoy!
Tips For The Best Results
- Use ripe mango & banana to avoid the need for added sugar.
- Frozen fruits will make your smoothie creamier.
Storage Tips
