Refreshing, tangy and perfect for when you're peckish but not quite ready for a full meal. This smoothie just reminds me of warm balmy mornings, sitting in the sun after a swim or gym. I like smoothies to taste great without extra powders and this packs 10g protein as it it - but if you like to add a scoop of protein, go ahead.

Good to know:
If mangos aren't in season, go for frozen mango chunks. Picked and frozen at their ripest, frozen fruit will add a thick, slushy like consistency - and saves on chopping! 1 fresh mango is roughly 140g frozen chunks
I like to keep 1 fruit frozen 1 fresh (so if you've used frozen mango, use a fresh but ripe banana). This stops is being so icy that you can't taste the flavours)
Salt is a bit of an odd addition but it's not a typo - it helps cut through the sweetness and enhance the flavours. Just a pinch is great
