Quick and healthy breakfast!
I love these smoothies. They are so easy and you can really change it up and add any frozen fruit you like. Fresh fruit would work also but using frozen makes the smoothies more creamier and thicker.
We use our Magic Bullet to make these. The Magic Bullet comes with plastic mugs that have a handle on them. You can make these Mango and Blueberry Smoothies and carry it with you if you are short on time and in a hurry to head out the door.
Always start with a half of a FROZEN banana. It just makes the smoothie consistency thicker. I just place the bananas in a Ziplock bag in the freezer as they ripen and are too ripe for our personal taste. It is a great way to use up bananas and you always have a stock in the freezer for these smoothies.
This recipe uses mango and blueberries and it is so flavorful. But the possibilities are endless. A few of my favorite frozen fruits are:
- strawberries
- pineapple
- raspberries
- cherries
- tropical fruit blend
Other add-ins could include:
- vanilla
- cinnamon
- protein powder
- flax seeds
I’m using PB2 in this recipe. Powdered peanut butter uses fresh roasted peanuts that have been pressed to remove most of the oil. Then a little sugar and a dash of salt is added for flavor. It has 85% less fat than regular peanut butter but still has 4 grams of protein per 2 tbs serving. Give it a try!
Just experiment and come up with your favorite combination or start with my recipe below for the ingredients I used!
