Mango And Kiwi Smoothie

When I hear mango and kiwi smoothie, I can’t resist saying “Mmmmmmm!” I grew up with tropical fruit trees in my backyard and absolutely love them. I have done my job as a parent and have managed to get my kids addicted to them as well.

Have this drink for breakfast and it will give you a boost throughout the day. Give it to the kids for their after school snack and it will tide them over while you make dinner. It is especially refreshing when it is hot outside. It’s one of my favourite tropical drinks. For anyone that loves tropical fruits, this is a must try!

The Ingredients for Mango And Kiwi Smoothie

A couple of fruits, some oats, some flax seed, and some non-dairy milk and you have yourself one of the best drinks in the world!

The Ingredients List for Mango And Kiwi Smoothie:

• 2 kiwi fruit – the fruit adds that beautiful tart freshness to the drink.
• 1/2 cup mango (frozen or fresh) – the sweet pulp is a perfect match for the tartness of the other fruit.
• 2 tablespoons almond butter – almond butter adds a creaminess to the drink that makes it glide down with ease.
• 2 tablespoons rolled oats – these provide the soluble fiber, the antioxidants, and they too provide a creaminess to the drink.
• 1 teaspoon of flaxseed ground – these provide the Omega 3 fatty acid that is so necessary for our bodies.
• 1 cup oat milk – I love adding oat milk to my drink. It adds yet more creaminess to the drink.
• 2 scoops of protein powder – in my opinion, no smoothie is complete without the addition of some sort of protein powder. I prefer to add the non flavoured type.

How to Make A Healthy Mango and Kiwi Smoothie:

Making this drink is so simple. If you can use a blender, you can make it.

To blend:

• Peel and chop your fruits into chunks – if using fresh fruit. Add them to the blender jug.
• Add the oats to the jug.
• Add the almond butter to the jug.
• Add the oat milk to the jug.
• Blend everything together and when everything is almost smooth, add the protein powder. Continue to blend until you have a nice smooth consistency.

I like to add the protein powder last because it tends to get stuck to the blender jug if added before all the liquid and fruits are combined. When you add it last, it gets amalgamated into the drink with ease.

Frozen Fruit vs Fresh Fruit:

I often get asked the question of whether one should use fresh or frozen fruits. Depending on what I have at hand on any given day, I make mine using both. I always have frozen fruits in the freezer. They are cheaper to get and last a lot longer. And there’s always the ease of use. No need to peel, chop, etc. They come pre-cleaned, peeled, chopped, and ready to use.

If you are using fresh fruits, add a few cubes of ice – especially during the summer months. It provides that extra coldness to the drink.

Customize It:

• Make it creamier with some Greek Yogurt.
• Add some Honey or Maple Syrup to make it a little sweeter.
• Try to use any other kind of Non-Dairy milk. I enjoy oat milk, but you can add Almond, Cashew, or Soy.
• Make it even healthier by adding a teaspoon of Chia Seeds.
• Want a more tropical flavour? Add 2 tablespoons of Coconut Milk to the mix.
• I love to add some Green Leafy Vegetables to mine from time to time. Try spinach or some arugula for an earthy flavour.
• Make it even healthier by adding some Cauliflower to the drink. It makes it really creamy and reduces the number of calories being consumed.
• Add slightly less liquid and make it a little thicker, so you can enjoy it with some Granola on top. Such a treat!

Make Ahead vs Fresh:

I have often been asked if this drink can be made ahead of time. I find having any drink that has been freshly blended is much better tasting than when it’s made ahead. But one way to make it ahead would be to blend it and immediately freeze it. Remove from the freezer and allow it to thaw at room temperature. I like taking them to work sometimes and I usually freeze them and allow them to defrost while I am in transit. By the time I arrive at work, the drink is all thawed out, but cold enough to enjoy.
