My last post was all about how I have started my #healthyjanuary journey, I am encouraging my family and my self to eat healthy. You can read all about it in my post here. I also explained in the post how to make smoothie packs for the freezer so that its easy to make your #onthegosmoothie in the morning. I created this delicious smoothie using my mango, avocado, spinach and dates pack that I premade and have frozen into single servings.

ReplyDeleteIt really tastes delicious and filling too.
DeleteI have your 'Healthy January' post to read in another post so I am looking forward to reading more about how you will be making your January more healthier. I have to say the mango smoothie with avocado is a welcome combination and I like that you use an optimum 9400. I really wish I had a good blender! x
ReplyDeleteThe key to a good smoothie is selecting ingredients that will compliment each other. The optimum 9400 is a fantastic blender and worth every penny.
DeleteI am so pleased to hear your thoughts on the blender. Sometimes I think it is better to pay more and get a better quality product. I do love a good smoothie and I could make soups with the blender as well!
DeleteI love how healthy smoothies are usually. This one especially looks so yummy and thick. I'm glad it's easy to prepare.
ReplyDeleteIts so easy as I pre prepare the smooothie ingredients and fill ziplock bags and freeze them ready for use.
DeleteOh wow this sounds super healthy! I am hoping to start being more healthy this year, smoothies are going to be a big part of my day!
ReplyDeleteWell do follow my #healthyjanuary posts on twitter and facebook as I am sharing a smoothie a day post.

Definitely we all need a #healthyjanuary after the festivities.
DeleteI would try this. I have had avocado smoothies in the past that I liked. I do not have chia seeds or dates on hand usually.
ReplyDeleteYou can skip the chia seeds and the dates .I used the dates to add sweetness, you can add honey or agave nectar or not add any sweetner if your mango is sweet.
DeleteWow! This is a brilliant recipe! It's been a long time since I did daily smoothies. I got so busy from work so but now I'm inspired to try this recipe soon.
ReplyDeleteIf you read my previous post you can see I make frozen smoothie packs so its easier to make smoothies in the morning.
DeleteI love the idea of making smoothie packs for the freezer and adding dates to a smoothie. I have a smoothie most days so will have to try it.
ReplyDeleteThe smoothie packs are god send and the best thing is every family has their individual favorites so there is no complaining.
DeleteHow great! I love smoothies and never had one like this. Dates! Nice touch. I will try this and let you know what I think
ReplyDeleteI added the dates as my mango was not very sweet and dates add a natural sweetness .
DeleteI have never had a go at making a smoothie but it does sound absolutely filling!
ReplyDeleteIts so easy nad 10 times healthier than shop bought.
DeleteVery healthy! It wouldn't usually be my thing but you make it look and sound so appetising! <3
ReplyDeleteI can assure you if you try it you will love it.
DeleteI do like this look of this recipe and it smoothie seems nice and thick.
ReplyDeleteThe avocado gives it the creaminess
Delete.
Oooo what an unusual combination. I think I’m going to have to try this next time we have smoothies.
ReplyDeleteIts delicious , you will love it.
DeleteThis is not a combination I have had before but it does look ever so yummy and definitely something I want to try. Cheers for the recipe
ReplyDeleteYou can really only taste the mango its great and so delicious.
DeleteYou had me at mango and avocado. Two of my favourite things! I've never tried a smoothie with spinach though. I guess there's a first time for everything!
ReplyDeleteYou can't taste the spinach but it adds lots of health benefits to the smoothie.
DeleteNow this sounds like my kind of smoothie - I love adding spinach to smoothies
ReplyDeleteIts a great way to sneak it into your kids diet. :)
DeleteThis sounds lovely, the mango would keep it a little sweet. I do like a blender than can handle ice and frozen fruit, warm smoothies are not pleasant.
ReplyDeleteI use the Optimum 9400 from froothie it crushes ice and blends frozen fruits too ,its absolutely magic. It also makes soup and icecreams too.
DeleteThat's so easy to make this smoothie and also it is super healthy for adults as well as kids. Indeed a magical smoothie to have an energetic day.
