Mango-Berry Smoothie

I'm sorry it has been so long since I have provided you all with new recipes and such. I have a legitimate excuse....I've been on a DIET! Yes you heard me! Just trying to shed a few pounds, BUT I shouldn't let that hold me back on this blog...so....to make up for it....here's a YUMMY smoothie that I tried out on my family this past week. I snuck a sip while preparing it...to make sure it was yummy enough. Let me just say, I was SO jealous that I couldn't have one. Enjoy!

Side Notes
I picked this recipe up in the September 2010, All You magazine. I didn't have any blueberries, so I substituted strawberries and it was delicious. This recipe actually served my husband and two kids with some still left over. Let me know what you think smoothie lovers!
