I am loving this 70 degree weather in January! It’s days like these that I’m glad I live in Dallas. There are very few places on the planet where you get a day like today in the middle of winter. I’ve been out running errands and its so warm I broke a sweat! Skinny jeans were a bad idea. And my car’s AC picked the wrong day to go on the fritz. I needed a cold treat when i got home so I mixed this up with our new Bamix immersion blender — the most amazing kitchen tool ever — and it’s so delicious and cooling and satisfying as I’m sitting here in my damp skinny jeans that I just had to share. Yay for smoothie weather!

Mango Banana Orange Smoothie

1 frozen banana

Handful of frozen mango chunks

Orange juice

Blend together until smooth. Enjoy!

If you don’t have frozen fruit you can use fresh and just add ice to make it cold. I find frozen fruit gives the best consistency though. Freeze leftover banana pieces and keep them in the freezer to use in smoothies.
