Lovely smoothie. 5 stars. Light flavour. I used all fresh fruit, I only had regular 3% yogurt so I added some halal vanilla paste and additional fresh mango. I added two oranges without any pith instead of the juice but I did squeeze every last fresh drop off the peel. I omitted the coconut extract as it contains alcohol I think, used fresh strawberries, fresh small yellow mangoes, plus coconut milk I found in the Thai section of a grocers. Made for ZWT7 Africa, for my team Food.Commandos

Yummy! I make smoothies every morning for DS (toddler) this one was extra yummy with the coconut milk and mango. I skipped the added extract and sugar and used vanilla coconut milk because thats what I buy for DS. Made for ZWT 7 :)

As with others, I used a regular fat-free vanilla yogurt, uped the frozen mango to 1 cup & added about 2/3 of a cup of frozen peaches! When all was said & done my other half & I each had a TALL glass of ONE GREAT TASTING SMOOTHIE! Thanks so much, BK, for sharing a great recipe! [Made & reviewed in Went to the Market tag]
