Mango Vanilla Bean Smoothie.
Everyone loves a delicious smoothie.
Could I have posted a more boring recipe today while I’m lying on the beach?
Yes. Yes I could have.
It could have involved broccoli.
Instead I wanted you to feel like you are at the beach right besides me.
You know, minus the rum.
The verdict is still out on mangoes.
I can’t decide if I love them alone.
I always figured I would, since I love mango lip gloss and body lotion, but when I finally shelled out my entire paycheck for a mango, it just tasted a bit. . .off. Nothing like lip gloss or body lotion.
Anyone else know what I’m saying?
Good. Because I don’t.
Regardless, I love mango when it’s mixed with something.
Like scallops. Or coconut. Or eggs.
Or even. . .salad.
Who am I? The sun must be frying my brain.
Mango Vanilla Bean Smoothie
1/2 mango, chopped
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
3/4 cup milk – I used vanilla almond milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
contents of 1/2 vanilla bean
Combine all ingredients in a blended and mix until smooth. Garnish with additional mango slices.
Are you a mango-lover?
What is your favorite way to eat it?

I love mangoes, but my husband describes them very well when he says that they taste “green.” They kind of do :-)
the smoothie looks delicious! mangoes are one of those weird foods that sometimes i love but sometimes i never want to eat.
I think you should be good and sauced right now on Malibu. And I hope that you are! And that you’re having a fab time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A perfectly ripe mango all by itself = heaven. But it has to be JUST right.
I’m not a mango lover. In fact I avoid most things with them and yet I’m not sure why. Maybe I would like them in a smoothie.
You can’t decide if you like mango alone or not? I’m not sure if we can be blogger friends anymore. haha. They’re sooooo good!!! Mango & Cherries are my absolute faves!
I was dying at this; since I too have a love/hate relationship with the mango! I wrote a post about how I thought mangoes tasted like hot garbage – but when I had them dried; I loved them. But raw (or in other dishes, I’m NOT into them). Mangoes – you so crazy!

I was looking for a good recipe for a lonely mango I have in my kitchen! I might add some protein powder and make a post workout smoothie with your recipe! :)

Wow, that sounds and looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE mangos!!! and actually when they’re really soft I eat the peal ‘n’ all!!
By the way, your recipes are DELISH. Thank you!
I love mangoes in blended with strawberries and sweet papaya. When I don’t have time to sit and eat my fruits, I blend them all and go. Voila!
