Mango and berry smoothie

Mangoes  are a healthy way to satisfy a sweet tooth. Rich in protective antioxidants, mangoes are a soothing boost of both insoluble and soluble fibre - which will help to lower cholesterol and improve your gut health. 

Check the label on canned fruit and dried types that may contain added sugar. I keep packs of frozen mangoes and other fruit,  like berries, in the freezer so I always have a handy way to whip up a smoothie!
