Yes, this smoothie tastes as good as its name would lead you to believe.
Avocado, mango, and lime make a divine combination. Avocados have become one of my favorite smoothie ingredients because they provide that staple smoothie creaminess I love. They are a great source of healthy fats and an average avocado contains about 4 grams of protein. Mangoes are no nutritional slouch. Mangoes are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They contain vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as potassium, phosphorus, iron, and magnesium. Another key health benefit of mangoes is their anti-inflammatory properties. Research has shown mangoes to protect against certain cancers.
Try making this smoothie with a couple of ice cubes and a little less water if your mango chunks aren’t frozen. Enjoy!
