mmmmmm. mango.

mango. my mind drifts off to the islands. wind in my hair. sand in my toes. serenity in my soul. can all of this really be accomplished by consuming one simple delectable fruit? yes! the answer is definitely, yes. i love mangos. my kiddos love mangos. my love affair with mangos has been years in the making.

mangos use to be only for special occasions. but now, now they are an every day staple in my home. at any time, if you enter this humble abode, you will find mangos sitting atop my counter. nestled into their very own little corner of the fruit bowl. aaahhhh. mangos. they love you back!



mango smoothie

1 heaping cup frozen mango
1 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup sugar (i use splenda)
1 cup milk (3 tbl powdered milk + 1 cup water)
1 tsp vanilla

in a blender, mix together the cottage cheese, sugar, milk, and vanilla. when it's smooth add the mango until it's well blended. you may use fresh mango, just add enough ice for a good consistency. serve immediately. makes 2, 8 oz servings.
