Winter got off to a late start here, but I think we are all caught up! The chilly air and snow does make for a beautiful landscape, but after weeks of plowing, that pretty blanket of white gets brown, black and muddy looking. Sometimes this type of weather can put me in a gloomy mood, which isn’t good for my “New year, New me” mindset! Once in a while I need a little pick me up and something bright to start my day while still staying on track with my food choices. Sipping on these delicious Tropical Mango Smoothies for breakfast takes me away to the islands and starts my day off on the right foot.
Just because it’s winter, doesn’t mean that you can’t get ingredients for a fresh tropical smoothie. When I’m grocery shopping at Walmart, I can find tasty bananas all year round and there’s always sweet fresh pineapple available too.
As far as the mango, I like to head to the frozen food section and purchase big bags of frozen mango. You can always use fresh mango, but I think it’s really convenient to have perfectly ripe, cut up pieces on hand and read to go for recipes like this one!
Don’t forget to grab a half gallon of Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk at Walmart too so you can blend all of these delicious fruits together in this Smoothie.
Silk Almond Milk is a delicious non-dairy milk, with 50% more calcium than dairy milk, and absolutely no cholesterol and no saturated fat. It’s perfect in cereals and is a smart swap for milk in recipes or shakes.
If your mornings are busy- you can blend everything together the night before and have these smoothies ready to go in the refrigerator. Easy peasy!
For those really crazy mornings, grab a Silk yogurt to go! With 6 grams of soy protein per serving, and available in several different varieties, Silk yogurt (just like Silk Almond Milk) is creamy, delicious, dairy free, lactose free and not made with any artificial flavorings or colors!
Don’t just make one of these yummy smoothies for yourself though! The whole family will love them. These keep my husband & I on track and focused on healthier eating while my kiddos get excited to have these as an after school treat! If you need a little something sweet to brighten up your mornings this winter, blend up a batch of these smoothies! Enjoy!

Would this work if I subbed some vanilla yogurt for the almond milk? Happen to have that at home. Thanks!
Hi Janet! You can use whatever you have on hand! That’s why I love smoothies because they are so flexible. The extra yogurt may make the texture thicker, so if you have regular milk or even orange juice on hand you can add a few splashes of that to get the consistency you want. I hope you enjoy this! Have a wonderful weekend:)
Yum! We’ve gone through stages where all we like are smoothies. They are so easy to whip up and taste amazing. #client
