We visit Starbucks at least once a week. I used to laugh at the thought of someone ordering a drink that takes 10 minutes just to order because the name is so long, custom drinks to the extreme. I am now that person... Me and my double tall, one pump, soy white chocolate mocha with no whip. I can't help it, I'm spoiled.
The kids like the Vivianno smoothies; the Orange, Mango, Banana is their favorite.
We've recreated this deliciousness at home to make it cheaper, healthier and tastier because it's made with Love :) I'm drinking one right now... Mmmmmmm. The perfect mid-morning snack.
Having very ripe fruit is essential to a good smoothie; brown spotted bananas, squishy oranges and mangoes are a must!
Ingredients (makes 4 servings):
2 very ripe bananas
1 large very ripe orange
2 very ripe mangoes.
1/2 cup yogurt (we used honey Greek)
1 cup almond milk (more or less to achieve desired consistency)
Handful of Ice (unless your fruit is frozen, then you can skip the ice)
Directions:
Throw it all in the blender and blend until smooth. Add more milk to thin it out if needed.
For even more fun, throw it into popsicle molds and freeze!
