Just ok. I don't think my mango was big enough. I found my smoothie lacking in mango flavor but the candied ginger goes nicely. I might make it again but not add the ice and substitute the water for milk. I think the water and ice dilute the wonderful mango flavor. I live in a rural area so I don't get mangos a lot, now I wish I had just eaten the mango plain. Hope this helped you.

This was quite tasty but couldnt really taste the ginger at all. :( Very easy to make and used a mango from my local Farmers Market. Thx for sharing!

Quick and refreshing! Mango and ginger are two of my favourite flavours, so I had to try this one! I used stevia as the sweetner.
