smoothiechallenge#2week1Mango Strawberry Smoothie with vanilla, ginger and Moroccan mint.Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup of frozen mango
  • 1/2 cup of strawberries
  • 1/4 cup plain cashews
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 Tb of honey
  • 1 tsp of non alcoholic vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ginger chopped
  • pinch of cayenne - optional
  • pinch of salt
  • 4-6 leaves of Moroccan mint (or any fresh mint will work)
  • Water to blend

Blend all the ingredients except the mint in a high speed blender until smooth.  Add mint and blend just until incorporated - if the mint is overprocessed it kills the flavor.  Top with extra chopped cashews and lime zest if you have that festive feeling.Enjoy!Make sure to let us know what you think and either post your picture on facebook or send it to Jana at: jana@lestudiovie.comRecipe designed by Chloerobillard at chloerobillard.com.
