Banana-Mango smoothie for breakfast

One of the favorite things I like to have in the morning is a cold, smoothie.  There are many types of smoothies but I like to keep it quick and simple...my banana-mango smoothie with a dash of  flax seeds.  This is not only delicious but healthy for you too because you will be getting fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, calcium, protein  and put a stop to your sugar cravings! It's a great snack or a healthy breakfast and it will also save you money and calories, since you do not have to buy breakfast on the go or cave in to an unhealthy, "fill my empty-morning-belly" food item.

Recipe:

1 banana (medium-sized)

1/2 cup of orange-mango juice

6 oz plain, non-fat organic yogurt

1 tsp of organic, cold-milled, ground flax seeds

Directions:

• Pour the juice in the blender
  
• add the banana and yorgurt
• blend until you get a smooth texture
• pour into a tall glass and stir in your flax seed

* You can also use a medium-sized , ripe mango and squeeze two oranges instead of using the orange-mango juice.

**Do not use flavored or low calorie yogurts as they contain too much sugar or artificial sweeteners, neither of which, in my opinion, are good for your health!
