I have expertise in planning and management of mental health delivery systems, diagnostic evaluations, and expert witness testimony. The same goes for this Mango smoothie the ingredients are yogurt, fresh mangoes, ripe bananas, peeled and deseeded oranges, and honey as an optional sweetener.I now have over forty years of experience in a number of areas of counseling and psychology.

Blend them according to the recipe instructions below, and enjoy. If you are a vegan you can use this homemade almond yogurt. While sweet enough to eat at the end of a meal, this mango smoothie also makes a great breakfast. There’s fiber and simple sugars from the whole fruits and honey to get your body going. And how could we forget the importance of vitamins and minerals? Healthy proteins, fats, and probiotics from the yogurt to keep your gut healthy and your stomach feeling full. While using fresh or homemade ingredients for this smoothie is great, that’s not feasible for everyone. In the absence of any ingredients mentioned in this recipe, don’t sweat it. You can easily substitute out the fresh mangoes for frozen ones, the plain yogurt for vegan yogurt or even milk, and the fresh oranges for bottled orange juice. Mangoes are a great part of a daily diet because they’re full of fiber, are sodium and cholesterol free, and contain more than 20 different vitamins and minerals. Good for you and great to eat is always a win. If you’re worried about mangoes not being in season, don’t be. You can also use frozen mangoes or mango pulp.

Mangoes are always available where I live, although different varieties of mango are available at different times of the year. In many countries, you can also find imported mangoes round the year. So you can use any!īut what if there’s only whole mangoes available? Here are some tips for you! Many supermarkets have convenient year-round, pre-sliced packs of whatever mango is available at the time. To start, you’ll want to make sure the mangoes are ripe. Color isn’t an indicator of ripeness, since mangoes come in different colors – yellow, orange and red.

Instead, gently squeeze the mangoes to see if they have some give, like a ripe peach or avocado.
