Mango almond smoothie | MANGO SMOOTHIE recipe



This mango smoothie recipe is thick, creamy and enormously satiating. This makes a very satisfying meal at any time of day.

This is an ultra-simple smoothie; those of you who frequently make smoothies for breakfast probably try versions of this all the time. But if you don't make smoothies very often (I don't) then give this super-quick, super-easy smoothie a try.

It's icy cold, and not too sweet, but very refreshing. All that yogurt is cool and tangy, and a good ripe mango provides all the sweetness you need.

this is an easy recipe , just blend mangoes with chopped almonds with some sugar and little milk or water .thats it… to make it more thinner you can add ice cubes while blending.

April , may being the season of mangoes in india. Many indian varieties  are found in market .I have used badami mango but you can use any variety like alphonso (hapus) mango
