mango smoothies

the major mango binge continues. since nigella suggested adding a mango to fruit salad, i have been an avid convert, craving and buying all things mango. this mango smoothie was inspired by the mango boba tea love, minus the tapioca balls. btw, does anyone have any idea where i would purchase tapioca balls?

this mango was so fresh and bright it almost hurt my heart to blend it up with it's little friends.
almost hurt.

it probably hurt nelson's ears since i was using the blender when he was still fast asleep.
woops.
are you awake now dear? i have mango smoothies for you!
bless that man, he is a saint for dealing with my antics.

still he did get a creamy, delicious and healthy mango smoothie out of it.

i can think of a lot of worse ways to wake up in the morning.
say for example, waking up to your neighbors giving tuba lessons. to children. playing christmas carols. on saturday morning. year round.
i would make them all mango smoothies to avoid that lovely noise music.
