Spring smoothie

Finally! The weather is getting warmer in the Midwest, and temperatures have been rising around the country. When that happens, the craving for something cool and sweet gets stronger. Luckily the 3-A-Day website has plenty of recipes that are cool, sweet, and contain nutritious dairy products that won’t break the calorie bank. We tried the Yogurt Mango Smoothie. It only took about five minutes to make. The challenge of cutting a fresh mango may have turned you off to the idea, but we used canned mangos, and it tasted great (note a small slice of fresh mango was used as garnish.) See the 3-A-Day website for the recipe, but you don’t really need one. Vanilla yogurt, ice, and mangos whirled together in a blender is a cool, creamy, fruity treat for anyone to enjoy.
