Mango is sweet enough to carry a whole handful of herbs. The parsley turns the colour a soft green and adds a fresh edge to the tropical fruit.

About this smoothie

Mango is one of the most useful fruits for green smoothies, because its strong aroma and creamy flesh balance bitter or herbal greens. Flat-leaf parsley adds a fresh, slightly peppery note. Parsley is known to contain vitamin K and vitamin C, mango provides beta-carotene.

Half a banana makes the texture creamier. The drink is a good entry into herbal smoothies and suits breakfast or a light snack on a warm day.

Bartender tips

  • Add a squeeze of lime juice to make the flavours sharper.
  • Blend the parsley with the water first if your blender leaves green flecks.

Variations

Mango coriander
Replace the parsley with fresh coriander for a more aromatic, slightly citrusy note.
