Chef notes
The flavors of the fresh ingredients meld beautifully to create a creamy and refreshing smoothie that's not overly sweet. You can feel good about the quality nutrition from potassium in cantaloupe and avocado, vitamin C from mangoes, heart healthy fats from avocado, protein and essential nutrients from Greek yogurt and milk. A hint of ginger and squeeze of lime connect all the delectable parts!
Technique tip: Blend well for a full 45-60 seconds total for a creamy, delicious consistency.
Swap option: You can use frozen or fresh mango in this recipe. Swap your dairy milk and yogurt for a dairy-free alternative if you prefer such as almond, oat, soy or coconut.
