Instructions

Place mango, banana, orange juice, lime juice, honey, mint, cinnamon and salt in a blender and blend until smooth.
Add ice and blend until smooth.
Taste and add more lime juice, mint, cinnamon or salt as needed.
Garnish with fresh mint and a slice of key lime and serve.

Notes

Note on key lime juice: If you can’t find fresh key limes, use bottled key lime juice (I like Nellie and Joe’s brand). You can also substitute juice from regular limes, but you may need more honey.

Make ahead: Smoothies can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate.
