I'm allergic to citrus fruits, so I substituted the mandarin oranges and lemon with mango and lime. It was still delicious!

I added a scoop of protein powder to this smoothie and it was the perfect post-workout snack.

This smoothie was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's because I used regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. I'll try it again with Greek yogurt next time.

I'm not a big fan of smoothies, but this one was really good. The flavors were well-balanced and it wasn't too sweet.
