This was creamy, smooth, refreshing, tasty and a delightfully attractive color. Still, Hubs was more enthusiastic about this than I was. I actually did have orange-mango juice on hand, and used a lot more mango than called for as well. In spite of that, however, the banana flavor definitely was the more prominent, the mango taking a back seat. It didn’t make this bad, just disappointing given its title, “Mango-Banana Smoothie” (perhaps it should be the other way around, “Banana-Mango Smoothie”). Hubs agreed it was more banana tasting than mango, but said he didn’t mind. He said it was “just right sweet,” but I did add a smidge of Splenda and used vanilla yogurt.
