Mango Orange Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients:
1 full sized orange (de-seeded)
1 cup sliced fresh mango
½ banana, sliced
¾ cup plain yogurt (you can use coconut or soy yogurt if vegan)
1 T. coconut oil
2 T. of whey powder or soy protein powder
1 t. stevia optional if additional sweetness desired
1 cup ice
Directions:
Blend all of the ingredients together in a blender. Put the ice in last to avoid getting the ingredients stuck in one place. This recipe supplies fiber, beneficial enzymes from the orange and mango, protein from the banana and protein powder and a host of antioxidants.
Notes:
Orange and yellow colored fruits literally make you glow from within because these pigments give you a “backlit” look when you consume these fruits on a daily basis.
Triple Berry Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped strawberries
1 cup blackberries
1 cup blueberries
½ fresh orange, sliced with seeds removed
1 cup plain yogurt
1 T. coconut oil
2 T. whey powder or soy protein powder
1 t. stevia (optional)
1 cup ice
Directions:
Add all ingredients to your blender and blend. This recipe is full of antioxidants. Blueberries, blackberries and strawberries all contain anti inflammatory properties as well which makes this an excellent recipe for those who suffer chronic pain because berries are one of the best anti-inflammatory agents out there.
Notes:
Coconut oil contains beneficial fatty acids which help keep you fuller longer and add vibrance and clarity to your skin. Vitamin C is also excellent for the skin and immune system, and this is supplied in abundance in the fruits contained in both of these smoothie recipes.
