Mango Coconut Superfood Smoothie

If you’re looking for a refreshing Summer smoothie without artificial or added sweeteners, this one packs a punch! Plus it is loaded with powerful antioxidants and can be customized to your preference (ie. adding frozen pineapple chunks and/or banana is divine!).

For this time around, I used the addition of Young Living’s Ningxia, a powerful red superfood beverage that my friends and family kinda go a little crazy for. It also makes it insanely energizing – which we all know I’m gonna need with four kids in the house this Summer!

You can substitute almost any berry/goji type superfood red powder/drink, or just leave it out.

Mango Coconut Ningxia Smoothie Recipe
(makes 2 servings)

Ingredients:

1 cup coconut water
1 cup cut up frozen mango
1-2 shot glasses of Ningxia or (1 TB of Superfood Reds)

Directions:

Blend it up, and enjoy with a little Pineapple Sage garnish (one of my favorite herbs)!

I grow it in a pot along with my other herbs, and am enthralled by this not-often-used-darling-of-a plant.

While this smoothie is divine and full of so many amazing benefits, it’s also fun to make popsicles with for the kids over the Summer! Or if you’re feeling a little bit frisky, add it to a cored pineapple with a bit o’ rum and add an umbrella!

(my recent Mother’s Day spoiling from Bahama Breeze – yum!)

Let me know what you think if you try this, or if you find any fun ways to bling it up!

Cheers!
