Mango Lime Smoothie

We are in the middle of a heatwave in Toronto. Thursday was so humid, I could barely move, let alone do much else. Today is supposed to be slightly cooler, but still above average temperature. I’ll keep this post short and sweet – just like this mango lime smoothie (yes it’s still pretty sweet, even with the lime). I find this smoothie tasty, refreshing and surprisingly filling. This vegan mango lime smoothie is perfect for a summer’s day – especially if you’re in the middle of a heatwave!
