We made these for St. Patrick's Day and the kids have requested them every day since. We did a few modifications...I didn't have mango so we substituted strawberry (it wasn't as bright but still very yummy). I also used a peach orange juice blend. Thanks for the inspiration!
I would like to receive emails
Love it!

Do you have any good ideas for substituting bananas in smoothie recipes? I have recently developed an allergy.
Bananas add sweetness. You can use dates or other sweet fruits instead. You can also use honey or maple syrup if you need the added sweetness!
This looks amazing. My daughter and I are allergic to pineapples. What would be a good substitute? Peach maybe?
Thank you for this. My kid loves it! So do I.
