Yes, this smoothie does taste as good as its name would lead you to believe. Avocado, mango, and lime make a divine combination.
Avocados have become one of my favorite smoothie ingredients because they provide that staple smoothie creaminess I crave and love. They are a great source of healthy fats and an average avocado contains about 4 grams of protein. Avocados are also a good source of dietary fiber and high in vitamins K, C, B5, B6, folate, and potassium.
Mangoes are no nutritional slouch. Mangoes are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They contain vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as potassium, phosphorus, iron, and magnesium. Another key health benefit of mangoes are their anti-inflammatory properties. Research has shown mangoes to protect against certain cancers. This “super fruit” can also be used on your skin to help clear up acne and blemishes.
Try making this smoothie with a couple of ice cubes if your mango chunks aren’t frozen. Enjoy!
