Tropical Sea Green Smoothie

This thick, zingy smoothie is lovely for breakfast, or as a cooling snack on a hot afternoon, especially if you use frozen prepared mango as well as frozen banana. The Sea Greens really enhance the sweetness and tropical tang of the fruits, whilst. the ginger provides a fragrant peppery lift.
