Mango Smoothie

by Danielle Minnebo
Mango Smoothie

This Mango Smoothie recipe requires you to make your own oat milk. It’s much easier than you think, it literally involves chucking 4 ingredients into your blender and blending it for 1 min. It’s definitely worth the effort as the flavour is so much better than store bought oat milk. You’ll also find this a good way to avoid some of the unwanted ingredients in store bought plant milks, such as vegetable oils, carrageenan, gums and natural flavours.

You’ll notice I use gluten free oats in this recipe. Oats are naturally gluten free, however most oats in Australia are processed on the same lines as gluten containing grains and so will contain traces of gluten. However, gluten free oats have been processed in a dedicated gluten free production facility, meaning they are gluten free. If you have coeliac disease you will need to determine if you can tolerate oats. It is rather a complicated issue (there will be a blog post on this soon!) with differing opinions globally, you can read more here.  You can buy gluten free oats from most health food stores or online, I use this brand.

Smoothies are often not the most nutritionally balanced drink. They are often high in fruit sugars, but will lack in protein, fibre and healthy fats. Which means you are left hungry about an hour after drinking one for breakfast! To make sure your smoothie fills you up and is nutritionally balanced I recommend adding a good source of protein, a tablespoon of oil, such as flaxseed oil. As well as adding an element of fibre, such as chia seeds.

Ingredients
  • Oat Milk
  • ½ C rolled gluten free oats
  • 3 C water
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • For the Smoothie
  • 1 C frozen chopped mango
  • Pulp from 1 passionfruit
  • 1 fresh medjool date, pit removed
  • 1 tbs flaxseed oil
  • 1 tbs chia seeds
  • 30g plain brown rice protein
  • 1 C oat milk
Directions
Step 1
To make the oat milk, simply add all of the ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend for 1 minute until the oats are completely broken down and you have a milky looking liquid. Strain through a nut milk bag into a sterile glass bottle. You can store this in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can keep the oat pulp and use this in baking.
Step 2
To make your smoothie, simply add all of the smoothie ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend for 1 minute until you have a smooth creamy drink. You may need to add another ¼ cup of oat milk to thin out the smoothie slightly. Enjoy!

  • An oldie but a goodie! I’ve just updated this recipe to make it even better. Perfect time for Christmas as well, the raspberries make it extra festive. This is a gluten free recipe but still uses the non-negotiable ingredients when making brownies which are butter and good quality dark chocolate 🍫 😊 recipe in my profile link.
  • Today's lunch for little man, mashed potato rolled into balls, so it's easy for him to grab, zucchini and mushroom cooked in butter with a lamb cutlet. 

Swipe across for the aftermath! All of it was definitely not eaten, in fact a lot ended up with the dog, in his hair and on the floor! But it's important to continue to expose them to vegetables and the foods you don't think they'll like or eat. Even if some meals it doesn't seem like they've eaten very much. This repeated exposure helps them become familiar with the food and eventually enjoy it.
  • This post has been brewing in my mind for a while now. Who do you follow on instagram for nutrition advice and inspiration? Are you aware of the influence they can have on you? How you feel about your body and the food choices you make?

As someone who has come from a background of disordered eating, I see so many red flags when I'm on social media now. I can identify them as red flags because of the work that I have done on myself and also from my nutrition education. I worry that the average user isn't able to identify these red flags. 

As you scroll through your social media feed keep an eye out for these. Then stop and ask yourself why you're following this person and how are they making you feel about yourself.
  • First recipe back for a little while and of course it’s baby/toddler friendly 😀 It’s a really simple Zucchini & Pumpkin Slice, perfect to cut into soldiers so little hands can grab them. I can confirm that they were a hit for lunch today. Recipe link in bio 🌱 😊

  • Hi 👋 it’s been a long while between posts! I’m feeling inspired to jump back on here and share more of my cooking creations and nutrition tips. A few things have turned our life around for the better in the last year, one of them being this little bundle of joy, Jakob Leo Hewitt 🥰 wow, what an insane ride motherhood is! He’s almost 11 months and it’s only now that I feel a bit more like myself again, although forever changed that’s for sure. 

Really looking forward to sharing more of my recipes again, lots of tips around feeding little ones now that I have one of my own. And also sharing more about my journey to motherhood as it wasn’t an easy one. I learned so much in the process and have a lot to share on how you can also empower your journey to motherhood, what is in your control and what you have to surrender too. But more on that later!
