Food - MANGO Milkshake

If one is lucky enough to live in the tropics, one has the privilege of enjoying 'magnificent mangoes' whence they are in season. If one is fortunate enough to live in a non tropical part of the world (Hello! Canada, eh?), seasonal fruits equate to 'age appropriate apples' or 'gullible grapes' or even more delicious, the 'pathetic pear'. Don't get me wrong, I like those fruits. But mangoes are gold. Made out of actual gold!! Honest!



Anyhow, we make mango milkshakes as a tasty summertime treat. The recipe is easy enough - mangoes, milk, honey. Done and done. Also, a blender is useful. Also, an understanding of how to remove the mango from the skin is vital!!



Makes 2 glasses of mango milkshake
1 ripe mango
2 tablespoons honey
1.5 cups milk

Once mixed, the mango, milk and honey combine to form one of the sweetest drinks this side of the Mississippi.



I usually struggle to sip this drink - often it is chugged. Oh so good though. Wow. Canada may have apple cider (yum by the way!), but Australia has a very good fruit called the mango that rivals anything under the sun.

Bon appétit!
