Mango Raspberries Smoothie

Mango raspberries smoothie

I am finally persuaded……..to enjoy smoothie! I have never liked smoothie. It’s cold, thick and sweet. But lately my children had been enjoying Mango Raspberries Smoothie. They were explaining to me that they were trying to eat more fruits! They served me a glass and….wow…..that was really good! But I felt so cold after that. Imagine having cold smoothie in this freezing weather? I took a look at my watch and goodness me, it was 11 p.m.! I just had to shut down my computer and jump into bed under my thick duvet and off into my dreamland…..zzzzz

My 2 children hardly cook. That’s because mommy is always there to cook for them. I think the recent 2 dishes that they made when I was down very sick with tummy upset really surprised but impressed me. Now this smoothie is a surprise to me again. At least they learn something new which is new to me too. Hoping very much that they learn more.

The recipe is very simple. The pictures are taken by them.

Ingredients
frozen mango
frozen raspberries
banana (peel and cut)
mango ice cream
mango juice

Fruits, mango juice, mango ice cream

Use the amount of fruits that you like.

Cut fruits

Use the mango and raspberries from frozen. Do not defrost.

Ready to blend

Put the fruits into the blender. Scoop in some mango ice cream, pour in some mango juice and blend it until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve. It is just so delicious. I’m sure I’ll enjoy this much more in summer.

mango + raspberries + banana sounds like a good combo! all my fave fruits in one

Kookie on January 20th, 2010

Such perfect timing! I have mango puree and frozen raspberries left over from my birthday lunch. I’m going to try to make this with my stabmixer.

tigerfish on January 20th, 2010

I am ok with smoothies as long as someone blends it for me! :O I don’t have the luxury of a good blender.

TasteHongKong on January 20th, 2010

I don’t need to be persuaded and love to have one glass of the above. I take very few cold drinks, but this could be an exception.

penny aka jeroxie on January 20th, 2010

All the summer fruits are calling me.

3hungrytummies on January 20th, 2010

You are bring summer into your home! Mango is so cheap at the moment here, great breakfast idea!

Mary on January 20th, 2010

@noobcook - A good one to start for you then I don’t quite like raspberries because of its sourness but it’s very nice in this smoothie.

@Kookie - Have fun making and enjoy it….refreshing and delicious

@tigerfish - You must be one lucky one to have someone blend for you! Hope you get a good blender soon. Then you can enjoy endless smoothies

@TasteHongKong - Me, too. I don’t like cold drinks. I don’t like that cold feeling in my stomach but I don’t mind this one…just sip slowly

@Penny aka jeroxie - This drink would be just perfect for the hot summer over on your side. I’m sure I’ll be drinking this everyday when summer comes.

@3hungrytummies - I wish I am back home….so much sweet and cheap mangoes to make this smoothie. I’ll have to eat my heart out when I go back.

anncoo on January 20th, 2010

I love smoothie with any kind of fruits mixed…very healthy and refreshing.

Divina on January 20th, 2010

I like your new watermark. I love all kinds of smoothies but if there’s assorted berries here, I would love to have that with some peaches. But I usually do them with tropical fruits. Right now, we have abundant mangoes and I mix them with lime juice and sometimes to make a green smoothie, I add some malunggay leaves (moringa). Then this is the best way to add my hemp hearts and bee pollen.

Here’s my previous post about smoothie:

Mary on January 20th, 2010

@Anncoo - I seem to be slow in catching up but glad finally I did If only I have all the Asian local fruits to make smoothie!

@Divina - Thank you for comment about the watermark. Just giving it a try. Don’t think it’s the best but good for the time being. Using tropical fruits would be my best. They are fresh and sweet and full of vitamins. Makes me miss home again Thanks very much for the link….awesome smoothies!Waiting for my girls to make for me again

@Sushma Mallya - Thank you very much.

Sarah, Maison Cupcake on January 20th, 2010

Smoothies are great, I like putting yogurt in mine as well as milk.

Marysol on January 20th, 2010

Healthy yes, but mangoes and raspberries are such heavenly fruits, in their own right, that it’s not at all difficult to imagine how wonderful this smoothie would be.

Anna on January 20th, 2010

I love smoothies, I had one everyday before go top school when I was a kid, we called it “vitamina” usually was with banana and papaya or avocado. It’s wonderful that your kids are showing some interest in cooking.

Julie Lynn on January 20th, 2010

We love smoothies at our house. =) I’m so glad that your children are doing some food preparation. Good for them!

Mary on January 20th, 2010

@Sarah, Maison Cupcake - That soounds good. I have to try that too. Thanks for sharing.

@Marysol - They truly are. I hope to learn more and enjoy more smoothies

@Anna - That’s such a cute name, but appropriate cos it’s so rich in vitamins. I hope my children will learn more, then I’ll get to eat more

@Julie Lynn - Totally agree with you that it’s good for my children. I do want them to know how to cook well before they leave the nest of comfort.

Mimi on January 20th, 2010

I have teenagers and they consider smoothies a food group!

cheah on January 20th, 2010

Wow, imagine drinking that in freezing weather. My girls love smoothie too and your combo is great!

Mary on January 21st, 2010

@Mimi - I think my girls will happily consider any food a good group, even junk food!! It’s hard these days with so much processed & junk food around.

@Megan - Thank you very much. The best part of it is that it’s so simple and easy to make, yet so delicious. A great way to eat more types of fruits.

@Blackswan - Oh, I can imagine that. I’ll be hiding in air conditoned room the whole day and downing myself with all these refreshing fruit drinks. But I miss all the sunshine there!

@Iron Chef Shellie - Have fun making and joy the wonderful, refreshing taste of it!

@Faith - Thank you very much.

@Patty - I hope my children will cook better than me so that I can retire They love all my cooking but they have come out with their own cooking style…good for them. At least they learn. I’m fully well now. Thanks very much.

@Cheah - Ya, unbelievable huh…drinking in freezing weather and near midnight! Now I don’t know who is crazy

kristy on January 21st, 2010

Hmm..mm…yumm…yumm…! I love it!

Mary on January 21st, 2010

lululu on January 25th, 2010

not sure if u’ve heard about “jugo juice”. i’ve been craving for their smoothie that i hv to hv it after my lunch everyday. and it costs me CAD$6!!!!!!
now, i know how to satisfy my craving economically!

Mary on January 25th, 2010

@lululu - No, haven’t heard of ‘jugo juice’ Is it a Filipino drink? That’s expensive if you buy it everyday. Hope you try out this one soon. It’s cheap to make. We have been drinking it almost everyday.
