A gorgeous Mexican mango was the inspiration for a flavorful, antioxidant-rich smoothie in my kitchen this week. In celebration of that particularly sunny shade of pink-orange-yellow found in mangos, carrots and citrus fruits, I whipped up a sweet, fruity, plant-based mango smoothie, with a bite of spicy ginger. This smoothie is packed with vitamin C, vitamin A and carotenoid compounds found in yellow-orange fruits and vegetables, which are linked to disease protection.
Ingredients
- 1 mango, peeled, sliced into chunks
- 1/2 orange, peeled, quartered
- 1 large carrot, sliced into large chunks
- 1 1/2 cups soy milk, plain
- 1 (1-inch) piece, peeled fresh ginger
- 6 ice cubes
Directions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
- Pour into 2 glasses.
Notes
Frozen mango chunks may be used if fresh mango is not available.
