Notes
High in potassium
I'm not usually a fan of mango but this delicous  recipe from Clean Slate: A CookBook and Guide totally changed my mind.  The flavors blend well together.  You can add a half a banana to make it a bit thicker -- and for an even more tropical flavor.

The coconut water gives this smoothie its potassium boost, while the mango packs a Vitamin A punch.

It makes a refreshing snack on its own.  Or add protein powder and a banana to pump it up and balance it out.
