Good Morning!

Once again, I began my morning with a smoothie.  Today, I added a new fruit to the mix.  MANGO!  I first used mango in a smoothie last summer after I went to a festival while living in Washington DC where they served a Mango Lassi.  I had never heard of a Mango Lassi before that event, but the whole day I think I saw just about every single person with a peach colored smoothie like drink, so I just had to try one!

I didn’t have the recipe, but by looking at the ingredients on the menu (Mango, Spices, and Yogurt) I made up my own!  I must say, it tastes pretty darn close to the real thing.

Mango Lassi Smoothie:

• 1/2 cup mango (I use frozen)
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon
• 1 sweetener packet
• ice and water for volume (about 3 ice cubes and 1/4 water)
