PŪRe Delicious: Mango Strawberry Green Smoothie
Mango Strawberry Green Smoothie
With mango, strawberries, avocado (optional) and greens, this sweet and refreshing smoothie recipe is the perfect way to boost your health!
It’s packed with the vitamins and nutrients your body needs like vitamin C, fiber, folate, and potassium to ward off diseases and help you thrive! Plus, it’s delicious!
Start your day with a sunny, tropical immune-boosting smoothie!
Just take a look at what’s inside:
Strawberries are full of essential nutrients to keep you healthy like vitamin C, fiber, folic acid, calcium, manganese, and potassium. They have also been shown to help reduce your chance of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease (1).
Dark leafy greens – like the spinach I used in this smoothie – are an excellent source of both fiber and micronutrients, which of course give your body the vitamins and minerals it needs to promote both healthy body maintenance and muscle growth (1).
Mangos are packed with beta-carotene, which has protective effects against skin cancer. Mangos also contain vitamins A and C, folate, and potassium, important for supporting your health (1).
Avocados are optional but contain more potassium than bananas, loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and are loaded with fibre.
Mangos are a tropical fruit and higher in sugar than strawberries, so pairing them helps balance things out so you can enjoy the sweetness without going overboard on the sugar. I generally try and do this with any smoothies, balance them out!
