Cherry Mango Love Smoothie
http://www.terawarner.com/blog/2013/02/raw-food-recipe-cherry-mango-love-smoothie-for-valentines-day/#more-29288
Ingredients:
- 2-3 ripe bananas (spotted all over)
- 2 ripe mangoes (very soft and wrinkly all over)
- 1-2 cups frozen black cherries
Directions:
Place mangoes in the bottom of your Vitamix or blender, then bananas and then frozen cherries on top. If you need to you can add a little water to make it blend easier, but I like my smoothies thick. Blend until smooth. Serve and garnish if desired.
How to cut mangos into heart shaped pieces:
To make heart shaped mango slices, you’re going to need a really sharp preferably thin knife. Slice off the cheeks of the mango (around the inner woody pit) and trace an outline on the skin in a heart shape, or any desired shape. Carefully cut out the mango trying to be as smooth in your cuts as possible. When you’re done you can trim any choppy bits after to make it look more streamlined.
Additional Tips:
If you don’t have frozen black cherries, you can use frozen raspberries. Strawberries are a possibility, just make sure they are sweet. You can easily make this a green smoothie by adding some spinach to it. The cherries will mask the green colour and make it look more purplish.
