Mango Spinach Smoothie

If you like mangoes, then this smoothie is for you. I like using fresh mangoes, but frozen mangoes can also be used. Make sure your mangoes are sweet, as we are not adding extra sweetener.
Often I have this as a breakfast bowl so I like adding flax seeds for extra protein, fiber and essential omega- 3 fatty acids, along with several important vitamins and minerals it provides, plus for its delicious nutty taste.
All you need are 5 ingredients, which you most likely will have in your pantry.
Watch the video above and see for yourself how easy and quick it is to make delicious smoothie bowls to eat at breakfast or use reusable bottles to store and consume later.
Top with whatever you like. These are only suggestions and what I had available in my pantry and fridge when I made this smoothie.
I pack these in my children's lunch bag. They seem to really enjoy this particuar smoothie, their bottles are empty when they return from school, whenever I make this particuar smoothie.
Make sure you don't fill your bottles up to the rim. Keep a little space so your kids can give it a good shake before drinking at school.
