Mango Strawberry Smoothie


I love a good mango smoothie that’s rich and creamy but without all that dairy. When I make smoothies I love them to be the consistency of a milkshake.

This smoothie is packed with fresh mango, coconut milk and water, frozen cauliflower and strawberries. With the added cauliflower in it, it makes the smoothie super creamy and thick yet low carb and low on the glycemic index. You would think that there is banana in it because it’s so thick but it’s the cauliflower and best of all you don’t even taste it!

Ingredients:

5-6 pieces of frozen or fresh mango

3-4 pieces of frozen cauliflower

1 cup of nut milk

1/2 cup of Coconut water

5-6 frozen strawberries

1 tbsps of coconut milk, the thick part

2 tbsps of flax seeds

1 tsp of chia seeds

Dash of cinnamon

To make this, place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

So good!
