Easy Mango Smoothie

TasteTester's Note:

When mangoes are in season, this makes a refreshing and delicious treat. The ingredients call for lowfat vanilla ice cream and nonfat milk; I have tried it using regular ice cream and whole milk; if you like a very rich smoothie you will enjoy it this way. I usually make it with regular ice cream and 1% milk.

This lovely smoothie was bursting with flavor. It was so quick and easy to make. I used a nice big sweet ripe mango, vanilla bean ice cream and 1% milk. What a delicious, rich, thick and creamy smoothie, this made. It was a wonderful lunch that I enjoyed very much. :)
