Summer is about smoothies.
Okay–maybe it is about a few other things besides smoothies and maybe you can drink them in the winter too, but this creamy mango banana smoothie is perfect for summer.
Ben and I love to go to a great Lebanese place around us. So much so that they know us. They have a lot of fresh juices and smoothies but let’s be honest, I’m more concerned about the fattoush, shawarma and pita bread. If we have any room left in our bellies after stuffing our faces with those, we often will get mango smoothies for the road.
This mango smoothie recipe isn’t an exact replica but I love the fresh taste of mango in it. It’s refreshing and delightful. As you can see, I had to pry it out of E’s hands to get a sip. She was obbbbbbsesssssssed. Girl had to have had brain freeze going on.
This could honestly pass for a milkshake. Mango Milkshake. The milk and frozen banana give it that thick smooth feeling that you’d expect from a milkshake. You’ll never even notice that you’re using skim milk.
A touch of honey is optional, since it is plenty sweet from the fruit. However, I do love the flavor that the honey adds. Just a little something special, you know?
She approves. So will you.

This smoothie is great! I accidentally added the whole banana, though, and used a little less milk and a tad more honey and it still came out amazing! This is definitely going in my notebook for Quick Breakfast Options!

We eat smoothies all year round but I think the summer is when we enjoy them most. I love mango and banana together. I like to add coconut milk and a splash of lime. My kids love them too! Have a great weekend.
