Mango Colada Green Smoothie

February 17, 2015

Mango Colada Green Smoothie by Natural Sweet Recipes

I will never forget the first time I tried a mango colada. Oh my goodness. Pina coladas are all well and good but a mango colada? They taste just like a liquid orange starburst milkshake!

I haven’t had a mango colada in probably 3 or 4 years, but I have never forgotten the taste.  The flavors of coladas are instantly nostalgic because they are associated with vacations and tropical paradises. This may be the reason we love coladas so much! Why not create this feeling at home while also making a colada that is 10 times healthier than any other colada you’ve ever had!?

Despite the fact that this mango colada is loaded with greens, it really does have a sweet tropical flavor. It’s not loaded with any artificial flavorings, dyes or sugars in order to create that delicious tropical drink. Instead, it has the real fruits to make that perfect, wonderful flavor – mango and pineapple! There isn’t even a hint of veggie flavor in this creamy tropical drink but you still get the satisfaction of eating your dark leafy greens.  If you are desperate for something “tropical” tasting but are still trying to convince yourself to drink your veggies, this is the drink for you!

    MMM…mmm!! Sounds so delicious. I make my smoothies very similar to this but usually use spinach because it’s what I have on hand.
