This Blackberry Mango Smoothie is a refreshing layered drink with the sweetness of mango, the creaminess of banana, and the bold tart flavor of blackberries. It's a gorgeous smoothie that looks just as good as it tastes, perect for breakfast, snacking, or even a light dessert.
I've always loved combining blackberries and mango because the flavors balance each other so well. The layers make it fun to serve to guests or to brighten up your morning. If you love my Pina Colada Smoothie, you'll love this fruity twist.
