Mango Kale Smoothie

If you’ve got an ice cream craving try this thick, rich smoothie that will delight any frozen treat fan. Mango naturally sweetens kale, and chunky pistachios add a pleasant texture and more nutrients like B6. If you don’t have pistachios on hand, use walnuts, almonds, or pecans instead.

Notes

Tried the same with these changes.  Definately better.
190 mango
220 avacado
 
5/17/25
100 g of kale.
One so delicious! Vanilla yogurt cup
Half a cup of water
Tried 168 g of mango after melting off the ice but didn't like the taste so added 101. Taste still isn't that great but realized I forgot the avocado. Next time I will add avocado, add 100 g of mango and if I need to, some banana to sweeten it up afterwards. After I'm done, this recipe needs a complete redo.

Used pecans. Make sure to add water and then drop in things while blending. Haven't tried protein powder yet.
