Coconut Banango Smoothies

Break out your blender; it's time for a smoothie.  I found this recipe while helping my daughter work on a social studies project.  Her instructions were to make a recipe or product using resources found in her state.  She quickly decided to make a tropical fruit smoothie.  After narrowing down her list of potential ingredients, we started searching.  A few clicks later, we found this delicious recipe on Kitchen Meets Girl.  After a couple of very minor tweaks, we had smoothies for dessert.  Here's how we made them...

1 mango, chopped
1 1/2 banana, sliced and frozen
1/2 C coconut milk
1/2 C cold water
ice cubes
1 tsp. coconut extract
1/2 tsp. lime zest
1 Tbs. sugar (or honey!)

1. Place all ingredients in a blender.
2. Puree until smooth.
3. Pour and enjoy!

We made two batches of this for our family of five.  You may need more or less for your purposes.  Just for fun, here is a link to my daughter's "commercial" she made for her product.  What is your favorite smoothie recipe?
