Mango, Yoghurt and Oat Smoothie Sundae

mango_smoothie_sundaeWant to brighten up your breakfast? Wake up your smoothie? Add a hint of the exotic to your favourite yoghurt?
Add a mango! Mangoes are sweet, slightly sour fruits that contain lots and lots of flavour – and they are just the right balance of sweet and sour so that you can pop them into savoury salads or whiz them into your favourite dessert.
Mangoes are incredibly good for you, too – and not just because they are low in calories. Mangoes contain lots of vitamin A, meaning that eating them could boost eye health, and they also contain flavonoids, which are anti-oxidants that have the potential to fight cancer.
They are also packed with dietary fibre, which will help to improve bowel health by improving digestion. Dietary fibre also boosts weight loss, because your body cannot digest it – so it will fill you up, but because you have to expel it, you don’t take in many calories from it. Clever, eh?

They are also low in calories too – one medium mango contains 135 calories. To give you some mango inspiration, we’ve come up with a delicious mango pud recipe.
