Strawberry & Mango Smoothie
A Smoothie is a blended and sometimes sweetened beverage made from fresh Fruits and in addition to fruit, many smoothies include crushed Ice, frozen fruit, Sugar, Honey, Agave Nectar etc. They have a Milkshake- like consistency that is thicker than Slush drinks.And is the most healthy and easy way to consume fruits and stay Healthy.
In the Summer time, we always get cravings for some cold and refreshing drinks. I find Smoothies the best option to drink during the Summer time. They are very easy to make. You just need to be sure about the combination of fruits you use. :)
Preparation Time: 5-10 Mins.
