EXCELLENT!!! I substituted frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries) for the mango, and it was as good or better than any juice bar smoothie I've ever had. I added a teaspoon or so of sugar to sweeten it up a bit and used protein powder instead of powdered milk. Great after-workout snack or meal.

(I tried this recipe because I had bananas that were too ripe for my taste and needed to be used up. My husband thinks it's funny how I would rather spend $5 on frozen berries to make smoothies with the bananas than just throw out the bananas, which couldn't have cost more than about 75 cents. He's not laughing anymore, though, because he loved these smoothies too!)

We have also enjoyed this smoothie. I bought frozen mangos at Trader Joes, $l.59 a bag.

i thought this smoothie was a bit "too banana" for me. i used a very ripe banana, maybe that was the problem. Well anyways this made a good quick breakfast for me.

Yum Yum but...two servings? I finished the whole thing myself (am I a pig?)

No, I usually finish it by myself too. Makes an extra large smoothie, but not enough for two, IMO.
