Mighty Mango / Mixed Fruits Mango Juice

Its time for Vegan Thursday, a small group created by Priya in which the members of this group share Vegan recipes monthly twice on Thursdays. There's no special themes, rules for this group and is mainly to share vegan recipes. For this Thursday am happy to share a Healthy & delicious Vegan Drink - Mighty Mango with the King Fruit Mango & mixed fruits(apple,orange,banana with a hint of lemon) combo. So healthy, tasty and loaded with all necessary nutrition. Long back V bought an organic drink named, Mighty Mango. The color of the drink attracted my kids and they wanted to get it for them or else we won't buy any bottled drinks for kids. That store bought Mighty Mango was a combo for mixed fruit juice with mango flavor dominating and thus it named as "Mighty Mango" (i think so). We loved the drink and as its organic without preservatives we used to buy once in a while n enjoy.
As now its a Mango season I wanted to try it at home, so with the help of the fruit proportions given in the bottle I tried it and the juice came out so good. The color of the juice was so refreshing and taste also so so good than the store bought ones. This juice stays good in the refrigerator for 2 days, only thing because of apples and banana the color of the juice turned little dark on the second day. Otherwise it was so delicious, filling and more healthy to give your kids & a perfect drink for anyone who love fruits. Now off to the recipe...
