Mango, Banana & Almond Smoothie
Makes 2.
By Dennis W. Viau; an original recipe.
One advantage to making smoothies is that they are an excellent way to use up fresh fruits that are becoming a little too ripe. An Italian fan taught me the term svuota frigo, which means refrigerator emptier—foods made with leftovers. Smoothies are the svuotafrigo of fruit.
Ingredients:
1 cup (110g) chopped frozen mango
1 medium banana
2 mandarin oranges (or 1 medium)
1½ cups (350ml) almond milk
1 tablespoon flax seed
3 ice cubes
Directions:
Combine all the ingredients, in the order above, in the jar of a high-end blender such as a Vitamix. Start blending at low speed and slowly increase the speed to high. Blend about 40 seconds or until smooth.
If using a conventional blender that might be damaged by ice, allow the frozen pieces to thaw before blending.
