Unlike other countries in Africa, Cameroon consists of all the different kinds of geographical regions in Africa in one country. This allows for an array of various produce to thrive in different parts of Cameroon and tropical fruits are no stranger to this land. In littoral region cities such as Mbanga, Penja, Njombe, Souza and Dibombari tropical fruits like papaya, oranges, mangos, pineapples, grapefruit and tangerines grow in abundance.
As a mango lover, this is by far one of my favorite smoothie recipes. Not only does it taste fantastic but it’s also full of some much needed vitamins, minerals and fibers that can boost and strengthen your immune system during this coronavirus pandemic.
