Don’t use ice cubes, instead freeze whatever fruit you are going to use. Doing this will create a much richer and creamier tasting smoothie then if made with ice.

3 medium bananas (about 1 lb.)
2 mangoes
1/4 cup apple juice or unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup ice cubes

Directions:

Chill the bananas and mangoes in the refrigerator for 1 hour prior. Peel and slice bananas and mangoes and place in blender. Add apple juice or coconut milk and honey. Cover and blend until smooth. With blender running, add ice cubes, one at a time, through opening in lid. Blend until smooth.
