Mango & Cinnamon Smoothie

Written by Published on Updated on May 28, 2019 in Uncategorized

Hiiii everyone,  I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.   I do hope the weather has turned into Spring  for some of my blogger friends and friends around the world. 🙂 

Today’s post is not a Greek recipe but a recipe that I just love!! Smoothieeeee 🙂 I mentioned in a previous post that I was given some Mangos which I have already added into a salad and have made a few other recipes, 🙂 but one thing I have not made yet is a delicious Mango Smoothie.  (My Absolute Favorite!!!)  I found this recipe in REAL SIMPLE many many years ago and just loved it.   The original recipe does not have any Cinnamon added into or on top of the Smoothie, but I had to tweak it.   I have added a teaspoon of Cinnamon into the smoothie along with the honey, and I just topped it off with just a small pinch of Cinnamon. 🙂  (Just because I like it)  

I enjoy having a smoothie throughout the day, I am not really the kind of person who would make a smoothie to have for breakfast.  I prefer having a nice breakfast in the morning with fruits, cereal. toasted bread, etc. and later in the day enjoy a great smoothie, 🙂 especially if we are having hot weather. 🙂  So, I hope you enjoy this smoothie recipe, let me know if you try it out. 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    I'm guessing I could omit the ice, and just add some more mango or yogurt, or both? I don't know why but I don't like cold drinks, or smoothies. Thanks for sharing Sophie :):) One can never have too many smoothie recipes :):)

    Mangoes add zest and comfort to just about anything-from salsa to ice cream.
