Mangoes have a wonderful flavor, whenever I get a smoothie, it will always have mango in it. The problem with them is I don't particularly like the texture. They get slimy and are hard to peel, usually more trouble than they are worth. Solving this problem is easy. I take a ripe mango, peel it, slice it into chunks then stick it in the freezer. That takes care of the slimy problem, and makes them perfect for putting in smoothies like mango lassi. A mango lassi is an Indian yogurt smoothie with mango, and is delicious, you can make it with either fresh mango or mango puree, but the puree is usually only found in specialty stores. It is creamy, tangy and refreshing!
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped mango (peeled and stone removed, or 1 cup mango puree)
4 teaspoons sugar, to taste
A dash of ground cardamom (optional)
Put into a blender and blend throughly. If using frozen mango, blend that with the milk first.
