Mango Madness Healthy Recipe – Yum!

For some of you, depending on where you live, it’s spring time, you can feel the difference in the air, the birds are chirping, the sky looks different and it’s getting lighter in the mornings and setting later in the evenings, so longer days…ahhhh!

So with this all in mind, it’s a good time to cleanse, renew, clear out and start new things…”spring cleaning”, that can be the body too!

I felt like sharing this delicious smoothie recipe, which is simple, in season depending on where you live and has a bunch of healing benefits in the ingredients…mango has antioxidants to help prevent cancer, lowers cholesterol, helps clear the skin, and alkalizes the whole body.  The pineapple acts as an anti-inflammatory healing food with vitamin C, reduces bloating, constipation. Most of us know bananas as the miracle fruit, they have a good source of potassium, an essential nutrient that helps to maintain proper fluid balance in the body, they are also rich in vitamins B 6 and A and they are great for mind and mood.

Here is what you will need for your shopping basket…
