Coconut Mango Cilantro Smoothie

One of my favourite smoothies whilst I was pregnant was an avocado cilantro (coriander) smoothie, and sometimes it contained apple, pineapple or mango depending on my mood. So here is a great way to include the wonderful nutritional benefits of cilantro with loads of electrolytes! Not only does it possibly prevent lead depositing in the body tissues but it also has a range of strong antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties. So enjoy this tasty smoothie!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 mango (fresh, or 1/2 cup frozen)
  • 1/3 avocado
  • 
1/2 lemon
  • 
1 handful of cilantro (coriander)
  • 
1 cup (250 ml) fresh coconut water
  • 1 handful of ice or add extra coconut water

Directions

  1. Wash all produce well.
  2. Squeeze the lemon in a citrus squeezer to extract the juice
    (you can add the lemon and blend whole if you choose to).
