Today I combine two of my favorite fruits into one twisted smoothie creation:  mangoes and tomatoes!!

Wait…what?  Tomato in a smoothie?  Are you out of your fruity noggin?  Haha, you wouldn’t be the first to suggest that I am!  But before you descend into any tomato-tainted tantrums, I suggest you give this recipe a shot!  Because it turns out, tomatoes and mangoes make quite a tasty combo!

The Mango Tomato Green Smoothie Recipe:

2 c water

3 medium tomatoes – the sweeter, the better!

3 c mango

4 c of greens (kale, spinach, chard, lettuce)

20 dates

To-may-to, To-mah-to, Blend-it, Full-throttle

Serves one monster (yields ~1 L)

WOO WEE!  Ripe mangoes are on sale at the local IGA, which means I just snagged up 6 mangoes for $2 (that’s $2 AUD, sorry Americans, that’s $2.15 for you).  I’m totally pumped about this find, because it has been too long since I was able to monster some mangoes.  Plus, there is pretty much nothing that goes better in a smoothie than fresh, juicy mango guts!  So in honor of this discovery, I bring you…

The Mega-Mango Green Smoothie Recipe: 

1.5 c water (mangoes are so juicy, they need less water than other smoothies)

3 large, ripe, juicy mangoes

1 banana (optional, makes the smoothie thicker)

3-4 c of your favorite greens (romaine pictured, use spinach/kale/chard or your own creative idea!)

20 dates

Compile ingredients, execute blending, enjoy your mega-mango program!
