mango citrus smoothie🍊
aka my summer smoothie fix🌞🌊 not only was this inspired by my leftover mango half without a set purpose🥭 the idea initially sparked from the tropical mango at planet smoothie (my dad’s fav all 3 years I worked there)

* 1/2 cup fresh or frozen mango
* 1/2 cup orange juice
* 1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
* frozen banana half
* 3 tbsp chia or hemp seeds
* 1 tsp ginger root, peeled and grated
* 1 scoop vanilla protein (optional)
* 1 cup ice
Directions:
1. Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender.
2. Blend until smooth.*
3. Pour into your glass of choice and enjoy!
it’s ultimately so refreshing and incorporates the ideal blend of tartness and sweetness🥭🍊🍌 now, with nourishing ingredients like detoxifying, anti-inflammatory ginger and plant-based protein from the chia/hemp seeds. it mildly reminds me of those orange dreamsicle cakes my sisters and I used to be *obsessed* with as kids👯♀️ think: sunshine in a glass🌞😎
