Mango, Banana and Orange Juice
Makes 2-3 glasses
This smoothie is filling and fibre-rich, but you have to drink it more or less straight away, as the bananas and mangoes will give the drink a sludgy grey colour in quite a short time.
1 large mango, peeled, stone removed and sliced
2 bananas, peeled
300ml orange juice
Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Serve immediately.

banana are good in our digestion. it helps us to eliminates bad cholesterol and fats.
Grannymar, this post is a big mistake. it will give Rummy liberty to talk, again, about how potent bananas are for old men.
Rummy, let’s review, one banana a day will produce what?????
But Grannymar , let me say, you are a “smooth” person.
Do you ever throw green things into your smoothies? The color can be off-putting at first, but it’s amazing how well dark leafy greens work with smoothies like yours. Sounds crazy if you’ve never tried it (and you do need a vita-mix or other powerful blender), but now that I have, I can’t drink a smoothie with fruit alone! Great way to get some raw dark greens in–namely kale or spinach.
And I’m new ’round here, so forgive me if you’ve already discussed this smoothie angle.
“the bananas and mangoes will give the drink a sludgy grey colour in quite a short time.”
Please tell me exactly how long it takes for the smoothie to turn a “sludgy grey colour”
I have a person visiting this afternoon and I can’t STAND her but will have to give her something to drink.
How far in advance of her visit should I make the drink in order for it to turn disgustingly sludgy and grey?
Hah! Nancy, make it right now and put lots and lots of kale in there!
Smoothie – Some interesting ideas at your place!
Maynard – I’m saying nuttin! 🙄
Tech Unsavvy – I like your ideas. Keep them coming!
Nancy – Our new friend TU has a great idea for you above! It almost has a touch of the naughty school boy about it! 😆
Nancy, I will come over and get rid of her permanently for you. What you say? Give her some “skittle juice” she will not know what hit her.
Thanks, Maynard. I guess by this time they are all asleep over there and we are just getting started.
So, what is “Skittle Juice”? Is it anything like the Kickapoo Joy Juice L’il Abner used to drink? Do you remember him from the funnies?
I love smoothies and these recipes are ones that even I can follow. I am off to dig that blender out now.
Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, so if you suffer from leg cramps eat one a day. I do and it works.
Nancy go to Grannymar’s post titled “On the Ledge” dated 4-16-2010, you will find what you need to know about “skittle Juice”.
I do remember l’il Abner, but I do not remenber the Kangaroo joy juice.
Nancy & Maynard – I am pleased you are having fun! 😀
Darlene – Simple, tasty and nourishing with no cooking. All good!
