You all know I love making smoothies and trying and testing out new smoothies is one of my favorite things to do! I am a big fan of mangos in smoothies and this mango banana smoothie is just the perfect combination of fruits for a smooth and creamy healthy smoothie.

But first, let's answer a few questions you may have.

Is banana and milk smoothie good for you?

A banana and milk smoothie can definitely be good for you, but it depends on what else you put in the smoothie. If you just use bananas and milk, then yes, it is definitely good for you because bananas and milk are healthy.

However, if you add sugar, sherbert, ice cream or anything similar, the smoothie isn't really healthy or good for you anymore.

Does mango and orange go together?

Mango and orange are one of my favorite combinations! If you want to add orange to this mango banana smoothie, feel free to! But I suggest trying this smoothie as-is first!

Are mango shakes healthy?

As long as you use healthy ingredients, mango shakes are healthy. Although, I typically like to call healthy drinks like this smoothies, and I typically call shakes recipes that involve ice cream and are sweet, and probably not healthy. However, this recipe that I am sharing with you today is healthy!

What are mango banana smoothie benefits?

Mango banana smoothies can be super healthy and provide a lot of nutritional benefits. Mangos are high in fiber and vitamins while being low in calories. Bananas are a great source of potassium and magnesium. So a mango banana smoothie can provide you with a ton of nutritional benefits which is a great way to start your morning.

Can you make a mango banana smoothie without yogurt?

Yes, you sure can! In fact, this recipe does not contain yogurt.

Yogurt can help make smoothies creamy, but mangos and bananas both are some of my favorite fruits to help smoothies be creamy. So while you can definitely add yogurt in your smoothie for nutritional benefits, you can also leave it out and you will still have a smooth and creamy smoothie.

What blender is best for smoothies?

There are many blenders you can use for making smoothies, but I personally own the Vitamix 780 and think it is simply the best. I get smooth, consistent results every single time which is exactly what I want for all my smoothies! You can buy your own Vitamix 780 HERE.

Alright, are you ready to get going? This smoothie will blend together in just a few minutes and I love that I almost always have these ingredients on hand to make it.

This smoothie is a personal favorite, and I love that I can keep the ingredients on hand at all times!

Honey Lemon Grilled Salmon

This scrumptious and easy-to-make recipe for Homey Lemon Grilled Salmon is the perfect way to prepare salmon and it sure to be a crowd pleaser!

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

1lb Salmon
½ Lemon
1 Rosemary Twig
More lemons for serving if desired
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Honey
⅛ teaspoon Pepper
⅛ teaspoon Salt
½ Lemon

Instructions

Mix olive oil, honey, pepper and salt in a small bowl.
Brush mixture on the foil.
Cut ½ lemon into thin slices and place a few on the bottom of a piece of foil large enough for your salmon to fit on it.
Place salmon on top of sliced lemons, brush with olive oil mixture and squeeze the other half of lemon on top of it.
My little one wanted to get in on helping me too. So she helped me squeeze some lemon onto the fish too.
Place remaining lemon slices on top of salmon and a rosemary twig.
And I had a little "helper" for this step too! Don't worry, we washed her hands right away.
Loosely wrap salmon in foil.
Place coals into fire pit or in grill and light the charcoal using HomeRight's ElectroTorch.
Place salmon on grill over coals and allow to cook until it is done. This will take anywhere from 10-30 minutes depending on how hot your coals are, how close your fish is to the coals and if your salmon is completely covered in foil or if the top is open. You will know when it is cooked because the salmon will be opaque and lighter pink (not translucent and bright pink)
Enjoy immediately with more fresh lemon if desired.

Notes

We started cooking our salmon with the foil open. About 10 minutes later we placed a piece of foil tented over the salmon and it finished cooking up perfectly!

While you are cooking over coals, go ahead and toss some green beans in oil, place them in foil, and cook those up too! Grilled green beans are SO delicious and the perfect, and easy, side to go with your salmon!

  I do not have a mini blender so don't know if it will fit to half the recipe or not, but I would try that first. Since the recipe calls for 2 cups of mango, 2 bananas and 2 cups of milk, I would use 1 of everything instead. 1 cup mango, 1 banana, and 1 cup milk.
