In a rush with less ingredients on hand, I made the same smoothie from the previous post, but without the mango. I thought maybe it would not be sweet enough, but there’s something the lemon does when blended with the rind and everything that makes it taste sweet — somehow the zesty-ness makes it taste sweeter. Maybe sweeter is not the word, but it works.
The mango one tasted better for sure, but no trouble at all getting down the same quantity of green smoothie.
