Mango gives this smoothie its deep yellow color and a velvety body, while apple and pear keep it light and juicy. A squeeze of orange sharpens the finish.

Apple, Pear and Mango Smoothie
Sweet, juicy and tropical, with a soft, pulpy texture and a light citrus finish.
Nothing here needs yogurt or milk: a ripe mango is creamy enough on its own to give the drink body. Apple and pear add fresh, crisp sweetness and some fiber from the skins, and the orange juice brings acidity so the result does not taste flat.
It is a good breakfast smoothie for people who avoid dairy, and it works just as well in the afternoon. The riper the mango, the sweeter and smoother the glass, so choose one that gives slightly under your thumb and smells fragrant at the stem.
