Mango Blueberry Smoothie

Although it’s a bit cold yesterday, my heart felt the warmth as hubby cooked me a bowl of noodles. Then I returned him a glass of healthy, yummy mango blueberry smoothie. What surprised me was that the cold smoothie went really well with the hot noodles. Blueberries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, blended with the juicy mangoes and creamy yoghurt as a result that I felt there’s nothing could beat this super healthy and delicious drink. Best of all, you can whip it up in minutes if you have a food processor or blender. This drink can be served as breakfast or light lunch as well.

This dish perfectly goes with a bowl of steamed rice. I saved some for my daughter as next-day lunch. The leftover tasted even better than we thought.
