Mango Smoothie

So what do I have in store on this article? Instead of eating and cooking delicious recipes, we pause for a while and have a drink of a very refreshing mango smoothie. Now what is a smoothie? Smoothies is a word used to a product that was made in a blender and sometimes sweetened beverage mad from fresh fruits. It has become popular in 1960 when there was a resurgence in the United States in macrobiotic vegetarianism.

They can also contain with milk, yogurt, or sometimes ice cream. Nowadays, there are lots of different smoothies in the market such as coffee, chocolate or sometimes peanut butter. But now we're going to use Mangoes as since this is one of my favorite fruits. 

So if you're craving to try this mango smoothie, I will definitely stop from here and here are the Ingredients: 

Ingredient:

2 Indian Alphonso mangoes, in season from April (or use canned puréed mangoes)
250-300ml/9-10½ fl oz cold milk
1½-2 tbsp sugar, or to taste, according to the size and sweetness of the mangoes
ice cubes, to serve

Method:

Stand one of the mangoes upright with the narrow end facing you. Slice off the 'cheeks' on either side of the stone and slice these in half lengthwise.

Cut around the stone to take off as much flesh as possible, capturing all the running juices in a bowl.

Remove the skin by peeling or cutting the fruit carefully off it. Repeat with the other mango. Discard the skin and purée the flesh and juice in a food processor or blender.

Add the milk and sugar and combine until it becomes a thick smooth mass. Chill until ready to drink. Add the ice cubes and serve straight from the fridge. A little goes a long way, so serve in small glasses.

*Fun facts about Mangoes:

Here in Philippines we eat unripe mangoes together with bagoong which is shrimp paste and salt. Of course mangoes has lot of vitamins on it but, unripe mangoes contains more bone building calcium compare to ripe mangoes and eating unripe mangoes are also good if you want to loose weight. So that's it for now and see you next time and enjoy!
