Ingredients

1 medium mango

1 small banana

6 oz. (1 container) of plain, non-fat yogurt

1/2 cup of fat-free milk

1/3 cup 100 uncooked, rolled oats

2 teaspoons fresh, grated ginger 

1/2 Cup 100 % Pineapple or Orange Juice

Instructions

Step 1:

Put yogurt, mango, banana, oats and ginger in a blender. Add juice and milk.

Step 2:

Whirl in the blender for about 30 seconds, or until mixture is smooth.

Step 3:

If the smoothie is too thick, add juice or milk to desired consistency.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Greek yogurt is a great option if you want something with a little more protein and fiber. Just make sure to add a little more juice or milk.
  • Feel free to substitute 1 cup any tropical fruit in place of banana and mango — or any fresh, frozen or canned fruit you have on hand.
