Mango Mojito Smoothie

Mango mojito smoothie. Literally, summer in a glass. Creamy, frothy, sweet, fresh.. just perfect.In the winter, I dream of summer. Of long nights spent belly-laughing outdoors with friends, of oversized margaritas and overflowing molcajetes of creamy guacamole, of chasing fireflies but being too scared to touch one.

All of which happens frightfully infrequently, come summer. Instead, my days look like this: check weather forecast for any hint of fall, crank down the A/C and read Jane Eyre with a cup of Earl Grey, begin planning extravagant Christmas Eve dinner.

There’s a lesson in zen there somewhere, but I think we all suffer just a little from seasonal grass-is-greener syndrome–those of us with powerful imaginations, at least. Yet when I made this smoothie, in a simple effort to use up some prepackaged mango slices, I was catapulted into a future wintertime daydream of summer. The star of the reverie?

I was taken aback by simply how much the smoothie tasted of summer, all at once frothy and sweet, light and creamy, fresh and aromatic. It was like a barefoot childhood traipse through the sprinkler-dotted grass, a messy bite of overripe fruit, picking wild strawberries in the yard and wondering if we’d die if we ate them (this was, of course, B.G.E. – Before the Google Era – so we erred on the side of caution when it came to our contemplations). 

Mango mojito smoothie. Literally, summer in a glass. Creamy, frothy, sweet, fresh.. just perfect.I’ve lamented my inevitably destructive love of mojitos before with my berry mojito smoothie, but the pairing of mango and mint goes beyond that simple and fresh obsession with dangerously easy-to-drink cocktails. It simply is summer, simply is what I dream about when I’m shivering between the front door and my car. 

Make it now, if only for fodder for the January reveries.

    Anything with a strong taste of fresh mint reminds me of summer (or morocco, but that’s another story) so I am going to hold on to this recipe until the dead of winter/February when I really need a reminder that summer will, in fact, come back eventually. And in the meantime, I might drink a few hundred of these too. Just, you know, because.

    You are seriously into mojitos lately! Not that I’m complaining because I might love them just as much as you.

      I know! I am literally so obsessed. I think it’s because I never liked them before, so I’m making up for lost time!

    Yes to powerful imaginations!!! Sometimes such a blessing and sometimes…not so much! I completely understand – I’m the same way. 🙂 This Mango Mojito Smoothie though? I think this is the cure to all things! It looks delicious! Pinned!

      Yes, cure all the things! 🙂 And totally agreed.. that imagination can be fabulous when it comes to logo design. However, if I don’t hear back from my husband after like two hours…. that powerful imagination conjures up a whole different set of ideas.

      “…..maybe he was abducted by a defendant and is chained to a basement! OMG. I bet that’s it.” Ha!

    Yes! I can totally relate. I am 100% a fall girl and spend all my summer days pining for the crisp days, sweaters, cute boots, apples, squash, and change in leaves. However, in the winter, I do think, wouldn’t it be nice for summer? Ha. Why do we do this!?

    This drink looks so refreshing for those last muggy days of summer. Mint and mango are so perfect together. And the almond milk is a great addition for a little extra creaminess!

      Right?! One day about a month ago it was unseasonably cool–I don’t know, maybe 70º–and I made myself a pumpkin spice latte! Any excuse, man.

      But yes, in the winter I look out at the bare trees and go, ‘This year, I won’t wish away summer!’ Oh well!

    What a wonderful smoothie you have here!!!! Oh I love this refreshing Summer smoothie of yours so much.
    Yes, I am going to miss Summer, and yes, I am already thinking about Christmas, but reading jane eyre with your smoothie sounds very good to me as well. 🙂

    You are the mojito queen! And I am a huge fan of them too, but your recipes are OVER THE TOP! I’ll take a bit of rum (or a few glugs) in my mango mojito, please. 😀 I’ve got the mint, now gotta run and get some mango! Thank you, Cheryl!!

      Right?! I’m at least the queen of mojito-enthusiasm. I’m OBSESSED with them; it’s so odd. And a hearty helping of rum in these sounds pretttttty darn good…
