Mango Ginger Smoothie

Do you ever find yourself buying more fruit than you end up eating?  You see a good deal on something you really like, you get excited, throw two or three too many in your basket/cart, keep going, and don't even think about it until your back home, three days later and wondering... how in HEAVENS name am I going to eat all of these?!  There are TOO many other things that need to be consumed as well!

Well... that just happened to me this last week.  I have a HUGE weakness for mangoes... HUGE!!  I love them.  LOVE THEM!  And, in almost any case, will eat them with anything they're served with!  (Hence the Mango Curry being a regular here...).

Smoothies are something I love to drink!  I had a huge smoothie fest almost every day last summer.  Someone else got a little burnt out of them after... oh... three or four days, so it became a solo quest after not too long.  Oh well!  I still enjoyed them!

Two mangos... some ginger... a banana or two needing to be used.  I think I can manage that!  :)

Mango Ginger Smoothie

2 mangoes (peeled, sliced)
1/4 - 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger (don't use too much!  You won't taste anything else, otherwise...!)
1 banana (or more if you need to use them!)
1 tsp vanilla
a dash of orange juice (1/4 cup or so)

Toss it all in the blender.  Puree.  Voila!  It's that easy!!!

Remember... go easy on the ginger.  Unless you don't want to taste anything else!  ;)  (Nope... not that I have ever accidentally had that problem!)
