Mango and melon smoothie
Almost ripe mangoes with a bit of tang make the perfect partner for the sometimes almost cloying sweetness of very ripe melon (cantaloupe).
Servings 2 glasses
Ingredients
- 2 cups cubed semi-ripe mangoes
- 2 cups cubed melon (cantaloupe, not watermelon)
- sugar or honey to taste
- ½ cup cold milk
Instructions
- Dump the cubed mangoes and melon into the blender.
- Add sugar (start with two teaspoons), half a cup of ice cold water and about six ice cubes.
- Process until smooth and the ice cubes are crushed.
- Pour in the milk.
- Process on LOW speed just until blended.
- Taste, add more sugar, if needed, and pulse a few times before serving.
