Tata's Carrot/Mango Dreamsicle Smoothie
Just made this one up today. I was hungry but didn't want a full meal. I wanted something that was light, refreshing but high in protein. This smoothie hit the mark on all of those things plus was delicious! So with a full satisfied belly I will blog about this smoothie and share the love! This is a "treat" smoothie you can feel good about giving the kiddos--with no added sugar! This smoothie can also easily be made paleo and is by nature gluten-free!
Yield: This will make you one 16 oz smoothie
Ingredients:
1/2 frozen banana
1/2 frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews or raw walnuts
Optional: Add 1/4 plain Greek yogurt or 1 scoop non-sweetened protein powder
1/4 cup unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk
One you have all your ingredients in your blender (I prefer a Vita Mix) then pour in your carrot juice to just below the highest level of your ingredients. Blend on high until silky smooth. You may have to add a little more carrot juice as needed for your desired consistency.
Serve right away.
Nutritional information: This smoothie is high in beta carotene, protein, Vit. K, potassium, magnesium, Vit. C, Vit. B6 and many many more!!
If you are using walnuts: Omega 3's and Vit. E, copper, manganese, protein among others!
If you are using cashews: Manganese, magnesium, Vit. K, copper, folate, phosphorus among others!
Enjoy!!
Love TATA
