Strawberry Mango Smoothie

I encountered this turtle making an arduous journey up the hill from the lake with a snail on its back. Do you sometimes feel a heavy weight on your back? Perhaps a Strawberry Mango Smoothie would be just that nutritious energy drink you'd need.  
Cook's Notes: Boost the nutrition of this smoothie by using protein and calcium-rich milk instead of fruit juice. The beauty of a smoothie lies in the endless possibilities. You can incorporate whatever fruits and veggies you like and then custom blend with with add-ins such as protein powder, flax or chia seeds, acai berries, maca powder, spirulina, leafy greens. You can't tell from photo but I used metal reusable straws over paper ones.  
Recipe inspiration Midwest Living Taste of Summer 2015 and makes 4 servings.
Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice or orange juice
  • 1 small frozen banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved or frozen
  • 1 cup chopped mango, fresh or frozen 
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 tray ice cubes
Directions:
  • In a blender, combine pineapple or orange juice, banana and honey. Blend until smooth.
  • Add strawberries and mango, blend until smooth. 
  • Add ice cubes and mix well. 
  • Garnish with a strawberry on glass rim.
