Mango Green Apple Smoothie
Thick and fruity, with honeyed mango and a crisp, sour apple edge that keeps the finish clean.
Mango gives smoothies a thick, almost creamy texture without any dairy, and it is a good source of vitamin C and provitamin A. On its own it can taste heavy and very sweet. A tart green apple solves that: its acidity cuts through the mango and adds a crisp, juicy note.
With water as the base, the smoothie stays light and tastes purely of fruit. It is quick to make, needs nothing special from the pantry and suits a sunny breakfast or an afternoon snack.
A tart green variety like Granny Smith gives the best contrast to the sweet mango. A red apple makes it sweeter.
