There are just a few weeks left of summer, which means that my Vita Mix and I are sprinting to the finish with lots of cool and refreshing smoothies to finish off the season strong. Even though I drink them year round, summer’s sunny skies and balmy breezes make them all the more satisfying.

My love for mangoes runs deep. I based this smoothie on the Tropical Mango Rice Porridge recipe from my book. It’s an indulgent favorite that I crave now and then, so I decided to turn it into a smoothie.

There’s actually a funny story that goes along with how this smoothie came to be. If you want to hear all about it, head on over to The Balanced Platter where you’ll also find the recipe.
