Mango Mania – or use Pawpaw (papaya)

Very filling, tastes heavenly (if you like mangoes) and supports digestive health

What…
  • 1 large mango, peeled, stoned, roughly chopped (or use tinned in own juice not syrup)
  • 2 bananas, peeled, roughly chopped
  • Choice of superfood
  • 1 handful each of blueberries and raspberries – to serve (optional)
…and how
  • Blend mango, banana and superfood till smooth and creamy.
  • Put the berries in a tall glass (reserving a few raspberries)
  • pour the smoothie over the berries
  • garnish with the reserved berries (and maybe a sprig of fresh mint leaves)

Warmed Mango Mania – for chilly days or if you need warming up!

Use the same ingredients as above: warm the mango and bananas with a little water. Place in a blender, add superfood, and blend. Pour over the raw berries or chopped apples and serve immediately.
