Mango Avocado Smoothie
There is creamy deliciousness in every bite of this Mango Avocado Smoothie. Before I tried it, I was skeptical of avocado in a smoothie. Then, my daughters took me to an Indian Restaurant for Mother’s Day. On the menu was a Mango Lassi (an Indian mango yogurt drink), an Avocado Smoothie, or a combination of the two. My daughters convinced me I needed to try the combination. It was wonderful! The flavor of the mango was the dominating taste with a hint of avocado. The avocado makes the drink so smooth and creamy. I couldn’t get enough. We decided to try making it at home. The results were fantastic! In conclusion, it has become a new favorite drink.
Health Benefits of Mangos and Avocados
Did you know that mangoes are the most widely consumed fruit in the world? Not only do they taste delicious, but there are so many health benefits of eating mangoes! Mangos decrease risk of colon cancer, improve digestion and bone health, and improve skin and hair. Avocados are also very healthy and full of nutrients! They have potassium (more than bananas!), vitamin K, vitamin C, and folate. Avocados contain healthy monounsaturated fatty acids that help lower cholesterol. They are also loaded with fiber. Overall, this is a smoothie I can feel good about serving to my family.

Absolutely love this smoothie. Try adding a dash of fresh lemon juice to this mix – half a lemon. It’s delicious. Brings out the flavour of both mango and avocado even more.
Cindy says
Flavor was alright, not bad at all, but mine cane out with a choppy texture and I used my high speed ninja blender 🙁 not sure if it was due to my mango, howd you get it to be smooth
Echo Blickenstaff says
I used a BlendTec blender and it was very smooth, no chunks at all. I haven’t used a Ninja blender with this recipe.
