Green Machine Smoothies (Mango and Avocado) created by kiwidutch

These are wonderful. Creamy and sweet and super healthy! Feel free to add one whole mango to the concoction (but then I usually add 6 oz mango juice and 6 oz water because I don't like mine super sweet).

Confused...it says it yields one smoothie but serves 4. Which is it?

Wow. The avocado makes it soooo lite and refreshing. I was a bit hesitant to "drink" an avocado. It is really good.

This is very smooth. I used 1 small ripe avocado and one small ripe yellow mango and a very little bit of mango juice to blend. The smoothie wasn't that sweet. I'm sure it would have been sweeter with purchased mango nectar. Plus I did use the mint. Made for ZWT7 South & Central America, for my team Food.Commandos

A good smoothie. The avocado did make this nice and creamy. I didn't have any mint so left that out and used Real Lime Juice instead of fresh. I'm sure that it makes a big difference. The mango nectar was stronger than I expected. For me, it was the predominant flavor and I would have preferred a more mellow taste over that. No doubt a little experimentation will make it perfect for us.

We tried this since we all like avocados and loved it. We used 1/2 an avocado, 12 oz mango, lime and lemon juice, crushed ice and a little honey to sweeten. Thanks for the recipe.
