A whole ripe mango makes this smoothie thick, golden and naturally sweet. The apple adds crispness, and a squeeze of lime keeps the flavour bright.

Thick and sweet, with ripe mango, crisp apple freshness and a light zesty lime finish.
Mango is one of the best smoothie fruits because its flesh is naturally creamy, so no banana or dairy is needed. A crisp apple adds juice and a little acidity, and a squeeze of lime lifts the tropical sweetness and keeps it from tasting heavy.
Mango provides vitamin C and carotenoids, the pigments behind its golden colour, and the apple adds fibre. It is a simple, sunny smoothie for breakfast or an afternoon break.
