Dietitian Notes
The star of this smoothie, mango, is naturally high in vitamin C and beta-carotene (the precursor to Vitamin A). Not only are you getting immune support, you also get glowing skin! Carrots add additional beta-carotene and fiber, while banana provides potassium to help regulate hydration and muscle function. The Greek yogurt contributes protein for satiety and gut-supporting probiotics. When combined with Daily Elements, this smoothie delivers a well-rounded balance of nutrients that support energy, skin, and eye health.
