This smoothie has many beneficial ingredients in it that will do wonders for your body, both inside and out. It also has a sweet and tropical flavor to it (thanks to the mango) that makes drinking it enjoyable as well as beneficial. This smoothie works to improve the health of your skin as well as to prevent acne breakouts and is suitable for any and all skin types.
Don’t let the fish oil ingredient turn you away, the other ingredients mask any flavor of it and fish oil provides your body with A LOT of benefits. Fish oil can improve the look and health of your skin and aids in reducing redness or blotchy patches on your skin. The benefits don’t stop there either. Fish oil can strengthen hair and leave it looking healthier and shinier and also aids in reducing dandruff and dry scalps. (I can speak from experience that fish oil really does do wonders for your hair. I started taking fish oil gummy vitamins a couple of months ago and noticed my hair growing faster and looking much shinier and healthier.) So, if it can provide you with better skin and hair, why not add a splash of it into your smoothie?
What you need:
- 4 ice cubes
- 1/2 c. yogurt (plain only)
- 1/2 c. mango (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp. fish oil
- 1/2 c. orange juice
- 1 mint leaf
What you do:
- If your using a fresh mango, cut the mango into chunks and place in a blender
- Add all remaining ingredients and blend until smooth
- Transfer to a glass and enjoy immediately
Comments:
- Depending on whether or not you use fresh or frozen mango, you may need to add a couple extra ice cubes to your blender for a cooler smoother
- You can always add more mint leaves to the mixture if you want a mintier taste (I tend to like to add a couple more and always enjoy the taste of fresh mint)
