GREEN SMOOTHIE #5

This recipe is not as pretty to look at as the previous Green Smoothie recipes.  Lets just say that it tasted way better than it looks. The ingredients were what initially attracted me to the recipe since I love mangos and strawberries, and I happened to have both of them. The color of the smoothie was a green/brown color and would probably scare off some people, but the texture was amazing....really smooooooth with a hint of strawberry. Since the experts on the Green Smoothie sites recommend that you switch up the fruits and veggies everyday, so that you don't overload on the same nutrients makes sense to me. My goal is to have 5-7 green smoothies recipes so that I can rotate them over the course of a week.  I don't want to get bored and stop making them, since I am pumped on the raw green veggies that I am consuming! Tomorrow I am trying a recipe with romaine lettuce.

• 1 mango (peel using the same trick I posted for the orange)
• 1 cup strawberries
• 2 cups of spinach (approx 2 handfuls)
• 1/2 to 1 cup water...start with 1/2 cup and add to desired consistency
• 2 cups of ice
• 2 scoops of protein powder
