Yes, I am still on That Mango Kick. The tree around the corner is still producing fruit as are many others in the area. So what do you do with your extra Mango other than puree it and freeze it for smoothies in later months?
This recipe should help.
If you're tired of the fruit, keep in mind it's 70 calories for 3.5 ounces. This morning I had a bowl of 15 ounces of Mango Chunks for breakfast. Lots of fiber in all of that.
Now the variations are:
1) I always leave out the Jalapenos. We tried the recipe once with it and agreed that the heat was unwelcome. It just did not taste right to us with it.
2) If you want a really good smoothie, follow the recipe for the honey/lemon/mango mix. Pour into a glass chilled. Enjoy.
