This is my staple. I lived on a variation of this mango smoothie recipe for most breakfasts for about 6 months after my baby was born. Variety is very important but I was just too engrossed in all things baby to think of many other concoctions. Plus my husband loved it and I knew it was a winning formula. It has a lovely sweet taste with no surprises so this is an all round winner. If you want to convert anyone to Green Thickies, this mango smoothie recipe will do it every time.
UPDATE: After drinking this recipe for 6 months, I was able to lose the 5 dress sizes that I piled on during my pregnancy and get back to my pre-pregnancy weight very quickly. Most of the weight came off in just 3 months. The last few pounds are always the most stubborn.
Benefits of Mango
Mangoes are widely known as the “King of Fruit” as they are so beneficial for health and most people love them. Mangoes can relieve clogged pores in the skin so they are beneficial to acne sufferers. I can testify to not having a single spot during this 6 month period, so maybe I’ve got this smoothie to thank for that. Mangoes can also help to relieve heat stroke. I also find them very filling, so this is a winning smoothie for keeping me going until lunch time, essential when you’ve got a baby to look after and no time to snack.

I have been trying out some of your thickies and I love them!!! I tried out the Morning Mango Smoothie for lunch today and I had 450ml which equals 2 servings, is that correct? Does each serving have 347 calories or do 450 ml equal 347 calories? I am a little confused about that. Just wanted to make sure.
Again, I love love love your thickies!
