Get mellow with this mango smoothie

I went to the market to pick up a couple of things and of course I walked out with a few more items. There were some wonderful yellow mangos for sale, so I decided to get them. They turned out to be a bit too sour to be eaten on their own, but they were perfect for a smoothie or a lassi - a yogurt drink very common in Indian cuisine. 

Mangos are another incredible fruit, just a cup has almost 70% of the Vitamin C you need on a daily basis, which is beneficial not only for your immune system, but also for your iron absorption. It is also rich in a multitude of other vitamins like copper, B6, folate and many others. It is also incredibly beneficial for gut health as it stimulates digestion.

A simple mango smoothie recipe to easy digestion.

We will talk more about mangos and their benefits - hint it's great for the skin! - in the future, for now just blend away with this easy recipe:

• 2 yellow mangos

• ½ cup of pineapple

• 1 banana

• 1 tsp of honey (if you prefer it sweeter)

• Kefir (I added ½ cup but you can add more if you like it more liquidy)

• 1 spoon of pumpkin seeds*

*I added the pumpkin seeds for my Seed Cycle.
