I’ve been in a mango mood lately. This smoothie is an extension of my mango love – and need I say how delicious it is!
Mango Pineapple Banana Smoothie
I use one whole fresh mango, a frozen banana and a spear or so of pineapple with a little water. Blend it all together and you’ve made yourself a refreshing smoothie.
If you’re like me, you always have frozen bananas on hand for smoothies or raw ice creams like this Almond Chunky Monkey Ice Cream. Usually, I buy one pineapple a week, slice it into spears, taking one or two for to-go lunches as a snack, or just eating at my leisure at home.
Fruit is nature’s candy! So most of this is on hand for me. All that is needed is a mango or two, depending on how many servings you’re planning.
Hopefully this will inspire you to get in some good habits, if you’re not already doing it. Your reward will be the many wonderful and tasty options you have to using these ingredients. Clean and healthy foods to keep you feeling good and high on life!

What quantity of mango chunks substitute for one mango?
Julie | The Simple Veganista says
Great question. I’d say about 1 1/2 – 2 cups would equal one mango.

I love this, and since finding frozen organic mango chunks at Trader Joe's, I have been making it much more frequently.
