Healthy Mango Smoothie

This super creamy, healthy mango smoothie is a great meal replacement. Don’t let the green color throw you off (you honestly cannot taste it but you’ll reap the health benefits!)

Packed with healthy fats, plant-based protein, and nutrient-rich fruit + leafy greens, this delicious smoothie is sure to keep your body going until your next snack or meal. What’s more, coconut oil is uniquely absorbed in the small intestine, providing the body with a more immediate form of energy rather than storing it for later. How cool is that?!

Healthy lifestyle starts with smoothies

This is truly the healthiest smoothie using mango if you’re trying to focus on your health. It’s the foundation to my day and helps curb my cravings. The key to using smoothies for a healthy lifestyle, is adding in leafy greens to slow down the absorption of the fruit sugars into your body. It’s also good to add healthy fats to help your body absorb the nutrients. Protein through cashews helps curb appetite and fuel your muscles.

What are the health benefits of mango?

Mango is a healthy tropical fruit that is worth blending. The fiber, potassium, and high vitamin content in mangoes may help keep your arteries working properly and reduce the risk of heart disease.

There is a compelling 2014 study from Japan showing that carotenoid-containing fruits and vegetables (like mangoes!) may reduce the risk of colon cancer.
