Food Monday ~ Smoothies
Mango, Banana and Orange Juice
Makes 2-3 glasses
This smoothie is filling and fibre-rich, but you have to drink it more or less straight away, as the bananas and mangoes will give the drink a sludgy grey colour in quite a short time.
1 large mango, peeled, stone removed and sliced
2 bananas, peeled
300ml orange juice
Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Serve immediately.
