Mango Buttermilk Smoothie

This recipe is an easy way to use extra buttermilk!  I was pretty skeptical at first, but I love smoothies so much and gave in.  The buttermilk gives it a nice tang, like orange juice would.  From the NYT, it's a healthy start to your morning.

1 cup whole buttermilk
1/2 banana
1 cup fresh or frozen mango
4 fresh or frozen strawberries
