No. of servings:  4                               
Preparation Time:  5 mins            Cook Time:  None             

This is a refreshing mid-afternoon drink for a hot, summer's day!



Ingredients:

  • Mangoes - 2
  • Blueberries - 4
  • Yogurt - 1.5 cups
  • Ice cubes - 0.5 cups
  • Rose Syrup - 1.5 tbsp 
  • Granola - 2 tbsp
  • Silted almonds - 2 tsp
  • Pumpkin seeds - 2 tsp
  • Chocolate nibs - 1 tbsp
  • Whipped cream - optional

Method:

  • Blend the mango chunks, rose syrup, yogurt and ice cubes in a blender
  • Note that no separate sweetener is added as rose syrup and mango add enough sweetness already
  • Run it  on a 'smoothie' cycle or blend it until ice cubes are crushed evenly
  • Pour it into a tall glass until three-fourths full
  • Top with granola, silted almonds, choco nibs and whipped cream (if using) as desired
  • Drizzle some rose syrup
  • Decorate with a blueberry on the top and enjoy!


Tips and Tricks:

  • Use yogurt for drinks with tart fruit like strawberries, kiwis, pineapples, mangoes, etc. rather than milk.  The acids in the fruit curdle the milk
  • Agave nectar is a great natural sweetener
