Beat the heat with a delicious cup of ice-blended fruity yuminess!!

What are smoothies?
These cool and fruity drinks don't only quench your thirst during this season of sun but also fill you up with loads of nutrients, thanks to the blend of fruits and calcium-rich milk and yogurt. They're different from fruit shakes because smoothies are thicker and are usually LOW IN SUGAR!

What's inside every yummy cup?

Making smoothies is SUPER DUPER EASY! You just need a blender and the following key ingredients:

Fruits

Bananas are a favorite key ingredient because they make the drink extra thick. Mangoes, strawberries and pineapples are also commonly used- but you can create your own unique mix!

Ice

Adding ice cools the drink and tames the fruits' natural sweetness. If your smoothie mixture looks too thin and watery, add a few more ice cubes and blend until it's as thick as you like it.

Yogurt and milk

These dairy products make smoothies healthy and nutritious! Choose flavored milk (I like strawberry and chocolate) or flavored yogurt to add a tasty twist to the mix.

What you'll need:

1 ripe banana
1 mango
1/2 cup mango yogurt
1-1/2 tbsps. honey or sugar (add more if necessary)
1 cup ice, crushed

What to do:

Peel banana and slice the mango (beware of cuts!)
Pour the ingredients into the blender in this order: yogurt, honey, fruits and ice.
Pulse (blending in short spurts instead of all in one go) for three minutes or until mixture is smooth and looks creamy. You can dip a spoon in to check for any unblended chunks.
Pour into tall glasses and serve right away, before the crushed ice melts. Now SLURP IT UP!
