Mango and melon smoothie
For an ultra cold smoothie, chill the fruits before cutting and pureeing. Add just enough water to help the blender motor process the fruits. The amount of sugar you need depends on how sweet or bland the melon is, how tart the mangoes are and what flavor balance you're looking for.
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.
