Mango Banana Smoothie | Easy Smoothie Recipes

mango banana smoothie
I have posted mango recipes non stop from the last 2 weeks and I hope this would be the last recipe for this mango season unless I prepare something new.Hope you liked my mango recipes and did not get bored of them .Check out my complete list of Mango recipes here.
Smoothies are one of the easiest breakfast option but somehow I am not a person who can live on smoothie for breakfast.But it is a different story all together during the mango season.I do not mind having smoothies for breakfast everyday provided the smoothie has mango in it.Mango can be paired with various fruits like Mango-Banana,Mango-Strawberry,Mango-Papaya etc and my most favorite combination is Mango-Banana which works well for a Smoothie.
Smoothies are very versatile,you can add cornflakes or oats to the smoothie while blending and convert a simple smoothie to a wholesome breakfast.Some times I even add dry fruits like cashew nuts or almonds or figs or dates as it adds a nice nutty taste to the smoothie.

Check out few Smoothie recipes in my blog:
