Mango Parsley Green Smoothie

After being out of town last week, I felt the need to detox a little.  Vacation, well, it was vacation — a glass of wine, or maybe two, with friends at dinner, and a few too many truffles from the conveniently located chocolate shop.  I wouldn’t change a thing about it, but when I came home I knew it was time to get things back to normal.

A few things always come to mind when I think about a smoothie for detox, lots of green, lemon, and parsley.  I think a little mango makes every smoothie better, and the high amounts of vitamin C and fiber are always a plus!  This smoothie certainly isn’t as sweet as some of the others on the site but I think you’ll be surprised how great it is even with all greens and so little fruit.  The parsley adds such a great flavor and mixes well with the mango and lemon.  If you’re not so sure, you could try fresh mint so it’s a little sweeter, but promise me you’ll try the parsley first.

Happy Smoothie Saturday!
