Blueberry Mango Smoothie

May 9, 2011 By Kristen Feola

Blueberry Mango Smoothie

I like to start my mornings with a smoothie. It's especially refreshing when the weather is hot or just after a workout.On a Daniel Fast, making a smoothie is a great way to enjoy the mouth-watering fruit God has given us. If you're brave, you can add vegetables as well to make a green smoothie. Now before you wrinkle up your nose at the thought, hear me out! Green smoothies are not as bad as you might think! They're actually quite good. The sweetness of the fruit is usually so overpowering that you can't taste most greens (unless they're especially pungent, such as with arugula). Blueberry Mango Smoothie tastes like a Hawaiian drink you'd sip on the beach. It's satisfying and filling, and your body will be energized by the vast array of nutrients it provides.

Notes

  • Make sure at least one fruit is frozen to have a chilled smoothie. You can also use ice.
  • To freeze bananas, remove peels before placing in freezer. Put in a plastic zip-top bag until completely frozen. See my instructional video for help.
  • Pour into popsicle molds for a tasty treat!
  • Make this recipe into a "green" smoothie by adding 1 cup chopped kale or spinach leaves.
  • Add 1 teaspoon spirulina powder. Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids (antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage). It contain B complex vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamin E, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, selenium, and gamma linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid).
  • Flaxseed meal is a powder made from ground flaxseeds. It's high in fiber and a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids.

Oops! Somehow that information wasn’t included. Thanks for pointing it out! I’ve added it. This recipe yields about 8 ounces or 1 cup, which equals 1 serving.

Kristen, a lot of recipes call for date honey but I can’t find it anywhere! Any replacement for the date honey?

Patti, any time you see Date Honey listed on my website in the ingredients list, it should be underlined. That means if you click on it, the link will take you to the recipe. But here it is: Date Honey.

What does the flaxseed taste like?

It doesn’t really have a taste. I like to add it in recipes because it’s high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as phytochemicals called lignans. One tablespoon of ground flaxseed contains 2 grams of polyunsaturated fatty acids (includes the omega 3s) and 2 grams of dietary fiber and 37 calories.

What’s the best way to store this if I want to make ahead of time?

Smoothies taste best when consumed immediately. However, you can store this mixture in the refrigerator for a few hours, but you’ll probably have some separation with the ingredients. You can always put it back into the blender to thicken it up. Sometimes we freeze smoothies and make popsicles out of them, so that’s another idea for you.

girl reading bible“Before you pray, bow quietly before God, just to remember and realize who He is, how near He is, how certainly He can and will help. Just be still before Him, and allow His Holy Spirit to waken and stir in your soul the childlike disposition of absolute dependence and confident expectation.” – Andrew Murray
