Growing up in the South, smoothies weren’t exactly a thing. We drank sweet tea, lemonade, or—if we were feeling fancy—a cold Coke from the bottle. But these days, a smoothie is my secret weapon. It’s what I reach for when mornings feel chaotic or when I’m craving something sweet but want to skip the guilt.
This Mango Honey Smoothie came to life on one of those what-do-I-have-in-the-freezer kind of mornings. The kids were in a rush, I had three blog posts to edit, and the bananas on the counter had seen better days. But tucked behind the frozen peas? A bag of mangoes. I tossed them in the blender with honey and yogurt, and voilà—breakfast magic happened.
It’s now a staple in our kitchen. My youngest calls it “sunshine in a glass,” and I can’t say he’s wrong. It’s bright, creamy, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat. Plus, it keeps everyone full until lunchtime, which is a win in my book.
