Non-alcoholic Cinco de Mayo Fun: Mango Lime Smoothies
Cinco de Mayo is quickly taking its place alongside St. Patrick’s Day, Independence Day, and New Year’s Eve as one of the great American drinking holidays–probably because of the excellence of Mexico’s tequila-based frozen drinks. But that doesn’t mean that those of us who are pregnant, nursing, too young to drink, or just prefer not to can’t have a little fun on Cinco de Mayo. Break out your blender, you’re making a mango lime smoothie.
Heavy on the juice and light on the yogurt, this is an easy-drinking smoothie that the whole family will enjoy. The mangoes and banana lend a little tropical sweetness while the yogurt and the lime give it a little kick. This is also a healthy treat, so you don’t have to feel bad about drinking a whole blender-full. If yours comes out a little pale (which it may, depending on your mangoes), you can add a little tumeric for color.
