I love mangoes. I cannot wait for mango season to come around to make mango recipes like this tasty mango smoothie.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This mango smoothie has 5 simple ingredients and only takes 5 minutes to make this super delicious smoothie. Therefore it is the perfect smoothie to make when you don’t have time to cook a hot meal for breakfast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, before we get to the mango smoothie recipe, let’s discuss the health benefits of mangoes and chia seeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mangifera indica L.<\/em>, more commonly known as mango or the “the king of fruits<\/a>,” is the most popular fruit in tropical regions. Mango is the Philippines’ and India’s national fruit and Bangladesh’s national tree.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n More importantly, mango fruit<\/a>, pulp, and leaves are a staple part of Ayurvedic medicines. Mangoes have been used to treat multiple medical issues such as digestive or gastrointestinal conditions for thousands of years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mango, as well as their leaves, contains vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamine, and minerals. Vitamins and minerals play a role in boosting the immune system<\/a>, which helps protect the body against specific infections, inflammation, and even some forms of cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mangoes also contain rich levels of bioactive compounds<\/a>, including ascorbic acid (vitamin C), \u03b2-carotene, and phenolic compounds. These compounds function as antioxidants, and daily consumption can prevent degenerative damage associated with conditions such as cancer or cardiovascular diseases.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am not saying you should consume mangoes every day. Too much of anything is not good, even if it is delicious sweet mangoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fruits such as berries, red grapes, peaches, watermelon, and tomatoes are rich in antioxidants. Therefore you can eat different fruits every day and still reap the same benefits of antioxidants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to vitamin C, mangoes also contain soluble solids<\/a>. These compounds can decrease levels of bad cholesterol. Mangoes also provide a rich supply of potassium which can regulate your heartbeat and blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
