Orange, Mango, Banana Dessert Smoothie

I love smoothies.

While I normally make them with milk or yogurt, but what happens when you substitute ice cream for the milk?!

Voila…a dessert smoothie!

Now, get to sneaking in these Vitamin C packed orange gems in more places than your dessert smoothies!

    Smoothies are perfect for when it is so hot outside (it is averaging about 102 where I live.) So thanks for the smoothie post! I came across an article the other day about “the perfect HEALTHY ice cream.” It was from a mom who simply could not get her little son to stop craving sweets. So what she did, is she stuck a banana in the freezer, and then blended it up (not too much) and just put it in a bowl with a bit of chocolate sauce on top. Voila: healthy “ice cream.” I thought that was so clever, I went home and tried it myself. It was actually really good. And way cheaper than buying ice cream. If you want a real treat, with a few more calories than a banana, check out our post at Mango Money’s blog on making your own ice cream. It’s cheap and perfect for this summer heat! http://blog.mangomoney.com/cheap-fun/make-your-own-ice-cream-float

    I agree with Natalie@Mango that freezing bananas before using them in a smoothie makes almost every recipe better by reducing the amount of water or ice required.

    This looks like a great smoothie recipe. I love the color!!! I guess folks who don’t want to use too much ice cream for some reason, could replace part of it with something like almond milk? This is my kinda dessert – not too rich and really simple to make. Thanks!
