Notes
- The key to this smoothie is the ripeness of the mango. It may work with frozen mango if it's sweet. If it's not, you may have to add a touch of honey or another sweetener.
- If you do use frozen mango, you could probably skip the ice.
- I'm listed this as one serving even though it was enough for two glasses. I intended to drink the whole batch for my post-workout/breakfast. I didn't expect it to be so big!
