This is a great pre- or postworkout drink, as it has a nice blast of protein from the tofu. Be sure the mango is very ripe. You can add a splash of agave nectar for extra sweetness.

3 ⁄ 4 cup very ripe mango, roughly chopped
3 ⁄ 4 cup silken tofu
1 ⁄ 2 cup almond milk or fat free milk
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves
1 ⁄ 8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup crushed ice or ice cubes
Agave nectar (optional)
Instructions:
Combine all the ingredients in the jar of a blender or bowl of a food processor. Blend or process until smooth.
