My idea of a vacation is a week in Mexico at the start of the off season. This usually coincides with the post Passover recuperation. Ah, not this year; 2 weeks in Bali last February and Acapulco last fall felt like all the sunshine I needed. Wrong. I still need the post Passover vacation. Guess a few glasses of this refreshing mango smoothie, made with organic stevia will have to do. Just have to crank up the heating pad and put my sunglasses on while I sip.
This recipe also makes a great margarita mixer but I'm good with it as is. Finding 'champagne' mangoes at Whole Foods that look ripe I decide to use them. They are very meaty with a slender pit. Tasting very much like the ones I remember in Hawaii when I was a kid, I'm transported back in time and space.
I'm also BACK on Weight Watchers so I opt to use organic stevia instead of sugar. Works for me, especially since I'm sitting here drinking the entire blender full by myself. I don't notice any difference in taste. Perfect!
