Here is another smoothie combination I never would have thought to try. This one blends together mango, cinnamon, and basil. It turned out great! Chad preferred it after refrigerating for about 30 minutes. If you don’t have fresh mango, substitute with about 1 cup frozen.
Health note: The skin of the mango may cause contact dermatitis in some individuals. It is more likely to occur in those that are allergic to latex or previously exposed to poison oak or poison ivy. The reaction is usually delayed about 48-72 hours.
