Smoothie Recipes
Welcome to Smoothie Recipes!
Smoothies are a fantastic way to get more nutrition into your diet on a regular basis. But they are also fun just to have as a treat by themselves as well, but why not both? Well, you can do that simply by using the right combination of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables.
I recommend using fresh produce because the flavors are richer and they also tend to be sweeter, which is important for making any smoothie a more tasty beverage. Frozen fruit allows you make your smoothie creamier, more consistent, and thicker without having to resort to using lots of ice which can dilute the flavor of your smoothie.
I also like to use only organic ingredients whenever possible, because I find that organic produce tends to be healthier then traditionally grown varieties because they don't have pesticides and other nasty chemicals on or in them. So keep it healthy, keep it organic!
Here are a couple delicious free smoothies to get you started, and that I find not only tasty, but very nutritious too. Please check out my other recipes on the upper right as well! Enjoy! If you want to find more recipes, check out http://www.bestsmoothierecipes.org/

Mango Smoothie Recipe!
I love to make tropical flavored smoothies, they are definitely some of my favorites! One of my all time "go to" tropical fruits for snacking and for smoothie recipes are mangoes. I like to use these because they are a bit more common and accessible like pineapple (which I also use with mango smoothies).
That means I am more likely to actually make this delicious smoothie, and so are you! Stick with the fruits you can actually buy, ya know? I know you guys will love this as much as I do, so enjoy!
2 fresh mangoes in chunks
1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1 cup guava juice or puree/ fresh or frozen
2 cups coconut water or regular water
1 tsp of organic stevia for a safe and natural 0 calorie sweetener
1. put the coconut water or filtered water into your blender
2. put your fresh mango chunks in next
3. then add in the guava juice or puree
4. add in your frozen pineapple chunks
5. toss in your sweetener
8. blend until desired consistency is achieved
9. Drink Up!
