Breakfast in a Glass~my banana mango smoothie
2 frozen, ripe bananas (freeze WITHOUT the peel!!)
1 mango, peeled and sliced
1 cup orange juice (any kind will do- I prefer tropicana light plus calcium or fresh squuezed)
1 cup fat free vanilla yogurt
*1 tsp of vaniila extract and a dash of cinamon can be added to enhance the flavors*
Cut banana into chunks. In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.
If the smoothie is too thick, thin with a little more orange juice. Pour into 4 glasses.

#4. Share a recipe for potato salad.
For all those of us who aren't big on mayo!
Roasted New Potato Salad
Ingredients
2 pounds new potatoes, cut into chunks
6 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 pound green beans, stemmed and sliced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup basil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup salad greens
12 pitted Kalamata olives
Method
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss potatoes with 1 teaspoon of the oil, salt and pepper and transfer to a roasting pan. Cover and roast until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Set aside to let cool.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse in cold water and set aside.
Put vinegar, remaining 6 tablespoons oil, basil, salt, and garlic into a blender and purée until smooth to make a vinaigrette. Toss potatoes, beans, tomatoes with vinaigrette together in a large bowl, then spoon mixture onto a plate arranged with salad greens. Garnish with olives and serve.

Freeze without the peel. Thanks for the tip! :)
We're doing more smoothies as the seasons change and I have a bag of mango in my freezer. This will be next up on our list!
now that potato salad sounds good except the olives :)
I remember freezing a nana with the peel and it gets all black and nasty. Doesn't look appetizing! LOL
My husband doesn't care for potato salad, but I think he would like yours because it's made with olive oil. We use a lot of olive oil. :)
What a great potato salad recipe...thanks for sharing. :)
Oh I love goat cheese!
My mango smoothie pales in comparison to yours. Note to self, gotta try yours :)
