Refreshing mango smoothie
Cool off in the heat with one of these delightful juicy mango and fresh mint smoothies – as well as being very good for you, they are also quite refreshing.
Ingredients:
- 2 large mangoes, as ripe as possible
- 150 milliliter skimmed milk
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 handful ice cubes
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves, plus extra to serve

Method:
1. Remove the skin and cut the juicy flesh off the mangoes.
2. Place the fruit in a blender or food processor, along with any juice left on the chopping board.
3. Add the milk, limejuice and zest, ice and mint leaves and give it all a good whiz until smooth.
4. Taste, and if you like things on the sweet side, add a sprinkling of brown sugar or honey and give it another quick whiz.
5. Chill in the fridge before serving, then garnish with a few mint leaves.
