Episode 122 - Mango Smoothie

MANGOES!

I LURVE MANGOES! Sweet or Sour, they're just one of the best fruits in the world. Mangoes can be made into cooked dishes or deserts. That's why I love Mangoes!

You should try Thai Mangoes or Cebu Mangoes which are usually famous for its dried mangoes (those sold in packets).

HOW TO CUT A MANGO - IN CUBES

The easiest way to cut cubes from a mango is by using a Pairing Knife, (leaving the skin on) slice the mango lengthwise beside the seed. Do the same on the other side. Then cut a cross-hatch pattern onto to the flesh of the mango without cutting through the skin. With your finger push the middle part of the mango upwards and then you can cut out the pushed cubed mangoes off the skin. The picture below will show you exactly what I'm saying.

Today I'm posting a simple drink recipe. This drink can quench your thirst on this crazy HOT weather! It's easy and all you got to have are fresh ripe mangoes and a blender!

Mango Smoothie

Ingredients:
1 large ripe Mango (chilled)
3/4 cup milk
1 scoop of Vanilla Ice cream
1 cup of crushed ice

Method:
Cut the mangoes into cubes and place all the ingredients into a blender, crushed ice later. Blend till smooth and serve in a tall glass topped with a another scoop of Vanilla Ice-cream and some cut mangoes.

*Tip: The smoothie can be blended with other fruits of your choice. I recommend bananas as they go well with mangoes or even strawberries!

Other than that, Mangoes are perfect eaten just the way they are! Just serve them when they are chilled or drizzle with a bit of Cream/ Coconut milk mixed with other fruits (Lychees & Palm Fruit) , Sago and you have just made yourself a Mixed Mango Fruit Salad!

Enjoy the Mangolicious recipes!
