Some Smoothies

When we went to Merida, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico; they had drinks called "liquados." These were fruity, healthy drinks made from fruits and vegetables. These drinks can also second as a meal substitute, on a hot summer day.

MANGO MINT SMOOTHIE

1 small, very ripe mango, washed
4 large strawberries, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup apple juice
6 fresh spearmint leaves

Peel the mango, remove and discard the pit, and chop the fruit coarsely. Process all the ingredients in a blender until smooth.
