Mango Yogurt Smoothie
s it hot where you are? I’ve been hiking around New York City in 94°F heat, and I’m about to head back to the Midwest where it is still in the high 80s. It’s so hot, most food doesn’t even sound good. Drinks, on the other hand, especially fruity drinks, sound heavenly. Here’s one that I’ve been sucking down for breakfast, since it offers both nourishment and refreshment.
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and cut into a few chunks
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and cut in half
- 1 cup whole-milk yogurt
- 1 cup crushed ice
- Pinch of cardamom (optional)
- Mint, to garnish
- Blend all ingredients except for the mint in a blender until very smooth and frothy. Taste and add sweetener if desired (I don't). Garnish with mint and drink immediately while still very cold!
