yummy mango lassi

 

One of my FAVORITE drinks in the whole world!! It is light and refreshing and so very easy and YUMMY!! You can also freeze it for a super yummy frozen treat!!

2 cups of fresh chopped RIPE mango pieces (3 or 4 MED mangoes)
2 cups REAL plain good quality yogurt (I like to use Liberté)
2 to 3 tbsp REAL cream
½ TSP cardamom powder
4 to 5 tbsp RAW sugar (sometimes I use honey when I can get it at the farmers market)
whole milk can be added to desired consistency 

Peel the mangoes and chop them. In a blender or mixer, puree the mangoes with sugar or honey. Slowly add the plain yogurt, cream, the cardamom powder and blend well until really smooth. Serve over ice and sit back and enjoy!!

strawberry peach banana smoothie

Who else loves smoothies? I love making smoothies, and it is my boys favorite breakfast. I just throw some fruit (whatever is in season), yogurt ice cubes, and some juice into my blender and in seconds I have a delicious healthy treat!

I've started buying the big containers of yogurt (I like vanilla) and freezing it in ice cube trays! I just spoon the yogurt in, freeze, and pop them out and store them in a freezer baggies and when I am ready to make a smoothie... Vuala! It is much more inexpensive than buying the frozen smoothie packages at the store and you can stop throwing away yogurt because it's expiring and freeze it!!
