MANGO YOGURT SMOOTHIE Boyer also created this smoothie and says the frozen mango gives it its sweetness and smooth texture and adds skin-boosting vitamins B6, C, and E. Plus, the omega-3s in the fish oil help to regulate oil production, says Koff, which boosts hydration, helps prevent acne, and staves off wrinkles.
Blend …
1 tbsp fish oil
1⁄2 cup plain, low-fat, organic yogurt
1⁄2 cup frozen mango chunks
1⁄2 cup orange juice
1⁄2 cup ice cubes
1 fresh mint leaf (optional)
Been making smoothies since I was 14yrs old, these are nice combo ingredients, but for someone who's busy like me, I've tapered my smoothies down to 5 fast ingredients. You can buy pass and save A LOT of money and just buy chia seeds instead of fish oil, hemp & etc....it expands like tapioca and use fiber 1 cereal. Not to mention save a lot more money. Sugar free pudding thickens smoothies as well as give flavor. If you have the time to do this Great, but for a busy person like me, No way. I even take my own to the gym and shake it with my ingredients to drink at least 30 minutes after the gym.
I have a blender that doesn't get nearly enough use. Some of these sound really good others..interesting. Wonder if they really "work"?? Guess we'll see!
Greek yogurt makes a fabulous base ingredient for smoothies. It's a little more expensive but I LOVE it. It seems to be healthier than regular yogurt as well.
kenya: You can find hemp milk at any health food store that sells organic and all-natural products. Also, if your grocery store has a "natural" section, it might be in there as well! It's a lot easier to come by than it might seem!
Wow these sound really good. (actually it's probably because they look so good in the pictures. But half the ingredients I don't pruchase and would have to go to a specialty store for those. wonder if Jamba Juice would consider expanding their menu and adding a health section.
These sound wonderful, but I wish there were explanations about some of the more unusual ingredients, like noni fruit powder - what is it, what are its benefits, and where can it be purchased. Otherwise, great article!.
Great, I love smoothies! :)
I just wonder why you have to add all this processed stuff like fish oil (ew, I don't even wanna know how that's made) and protein powder.. so much for natural goodness, I'd rather stick with fruit and veggies - the almond smoothies sounds fantastic.
