Mango + Greens Smoothie

4/12/2016

12 Comments

 
I love a good green smoothie. As an avid smoothie lover from way back, being able to pack them with good-for-me-greens like spinach, kale or avocado makes me feel good about sipping on one for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

As the temps start to creep up into the 90's here in Arizona, I've been experimenting and trying new combinations recently. I've been getting many requests from my nut-free readers for drinks and eats that don't contain nut milks or nut butters, but that can still pack a mean protein punch, so I've whipped up something special for you guys and gals!

Many of my vegan readers and clients enjoy the protein content of soy and the health benefits it can offer. And while I believe in enjoying everything healthy in moderation if well tolerated, even my carnivorous friends can enjoy the benefits of this little green bean. Soy has a controversial reputation in many circles, and people always want to know my advice... it's simply this, speak to your doctor about your restrictions, listen to your body and always make sure to look for soy sourced from Non-GMO sources, such as Silk as there are many benefits to enjoying this power packed food source. 

April is National Soyfoods Month, so I thought it would be fitting to celebrate it with this lean and mean Mango + Greens smoothie that is so silky smooth, so decadent and packed with nutrients.

With Silk's Soy Milk yogurt alternative being so versatile, you can use it in many recipes to not only get a protein boost, but to give your tummy that much needed healthy bacteria. Dairy-free yogurts that include live active cultures, along with a clean, doctor recommended probiotic, are staples in my diet. Dairy-free yogurt alternatives, such as Silk Soy, are also amazing sources of calcium and Vitamin D, which are super important right now, especially as a I grow our little Baby P. 

Below is the simple recipe, I would love to hear your favorite smoothie recipes or what you thought of this green treat that gives a sweet over earthy flavor, which makes it a hit with the kiddos too! 

Mango + Greens Smoothie Recipe






Ingredients: 
1 C. Silk Soy Milk Vanilla Yogurt Alternative
1 C. Organic Spinach (washed)
1/2 of an Avocado
1/2 Frozen or Chilled Banana
1 C. Frozen Mango

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract 





Directions:

Serve immediately in chilled glass, top with additional fruit (optional) and enjoy!

You can also pair Silk soy yogurt alternative with a homemade granola, a top pancakes or in one of my many other smoothie recipes if this one doesn't tickle your fancy.

Your smoothie looks so good! I start every morning with a smoothie. I'm so glad that there are finally some dairy alternatives for yogurt that isn't coconut. I'll have to try to add some yogurt to the smoothie for some added creaminess. Thanks so much for sharing.

I am a smoothie junkie, so all of this sounds amazing to me!!! =) Do you think it would still taste well with almond milk? Soy doesn't agree with me, but I am not sure if the almond flavor would ruin this beautiful creation. haha. Great idea to incorporate yogurt. That makes it so creamy. Yum!

Aarika,
I use almond milk as a base quite often, I use the vanilla unsweetened and it doesn't ruin the smoothie at all! ;)
