Pro Tip 1: Don’t throw away the peel! It’s 40-80% fiber by weight and loaded with disease-fighting nutrients. It does have a slightly bitter taste but you can just throw it in the blender along with everything else and the bitter taste will be masked by the orange, sweet mango flavor, and protein powder.
Pro Tip 2: If you’re going to use the peel, be sure to buy organic mangos to avoid all the nasty pesticides being sprayed on conventionally grown food.
Pro Tip 3: You can supercharge this smoothie by adding a handful of spinach or baby kale without changing the original flavor of the recipe.
