This is essentially a milkshake or smoothie made with mango and yoghurt and just as easy to make. You can pulp the mango and freeze it in single serving sizes, ready to use as you need it. This is the perfect recipe for the 10 mangoes we bought at the Rocklea Markets for just $3.00 as by freezing the pulp, there was no wastage.

Ingredients

1 cup plain yoghurt
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped mango, peeled and stone removed
Honey to taste

Method

1. Put mango, yoghurt, milk, sugar and honey into a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Pour into individual glasses, serve chilled.

Makes about 2 cups.

For something a bit different, added mashed banana for a wholesome, quick breakfast drink.
