Mango Orange Smoothie

I found this recipe when looking for a way to use up some leftover coconut milk I had in the fridge. I made it a few nights ago and all 3 of us liked it. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture. The flavor combination is really good, and the fat in the coconut milk helps balance out the sugars from the fruit. This makes a great dessert or snack. It could also be part of a breakfast.

Mango Orange Smoothies - adapted from The Nourishing Gourmet

1-1/2 cups coconut milk (we used most of a 14 oz can)**
2 bananas - peeled, chopped, and frozen
1 mango - peeled, chopped, and frozen
5 mandarin oranges - peeled and seeded

Place everything in blender. Blend until desired consistency. Makes 3 large servings.

**If the coconut milk is solid, you may want to soften it first by heating slowly in a pan of hot water.
