Mango is a nutrient-packed fruit, extremely rich in minerals, antioxidants, fiber and vitamins (especially A and C). It also carries digestive enzymes that when combined with the probiotics in yogurt, help your systems run a little more smoothly. Yogurt also provides this fruity Indian-inspired drink with plenty of protein (18 grams!), plus calcium, vitamin B-12, potassium and magnesium. It’s what we like to think of as a super drink!
