Mango-Peach Smoothie

I used frozen mango and canned peaches. It was OK, but a bit tart. A little honey would have helped. I think I prefer these fruits with a ripe banana for some added sweetness. It was very smooth.

5.6.17 Mango and peach is a good combination for a smoothie. Used frozen fruit, so the consistency was how I like it, a bit on the thick side. Nice mid-morning snack.

Great tasting smoothie recipe! I used frozen mangos and peaches. I also used vanilla almond milk in place of soy. Very tasty!

Four stars from Hubs, five from me. Since there is no ability to rate the average between the two, my 5-star rating will rule. I didn’t have soy milk (we’ve tried it and don’t care for it) so I used milk and a sugar-free French Vanilla syrup as a substitute and to sweeten this up a little. My mangoes and peaches were ripe and juicy - I stuck them in the freezer for awhile since I decided to make this on the spur of the moment and also added a handful of ice cubes just to ensure that this would be good and cold. The verdict? I was really impressed. Didn’t miss the typical yogurt smoothie at all; in fact, I actually preferred the omission. While you can taste the mango and peach flavors on their own, it still has a unique, almost tropical flavor. Creamy and thick – and with no yogurt! And what a beautiful yellow-orange color, flecked with the tiniest bits of the peach peel. Hubs agrees with me for the most part, but explains his 4-star rating by the fact that, one, he is even more discriminating with his 5-star ratings than I am and because he thought this wasn’t quite as robustly flavored as he prefers in a smoothie.
