Man goes, Man comes, Mangoes - Part 2

Hello Mangeurs,

As promised, this is our "IT'S IN SEASON" follow-up and today, we will be discussing different ways mangoes can be consumed.

Here are five healthy and delicious (Healthdelicious) things to do with mangoes;

1 - Salads
Don't know what to do with those mangoes? Cut 'em up with other fruits you love and #boom, your explosive fruit salad is ready.

 

2 - Smoothies
The weather is hot and you are thirsty. You need something refreshing but also healthy; Cut up those mangoes, blend them with some ice and milk and the world's greatest smoothie is ready. My favourite combinations are mango with lemon juice or with coconut milk or with pineapple. I also love the mango and date fruit mix. These mixes are a must try. Letters for the day: (LF)

3 - Rice
Tired of the regular sauces, stews and stir fries that accompany your rice meals? Try out some mango sauce, or mango-lemon rice just white rice and mango. Trust me, this is a delicious one especially for sweet and sour lovers.

4 - Cakes
Looking for bursting flavour in your cakes and pastry? Mango is your best bet; it's sweet-smelling flavour, rich savour and tender texture make it the ultimate cake taste booster. You can also use mangoes to colourfully decorate your cakes.

5 - Candy/Ice Cream

My favourite candies and juices are mango-flavoured. You can prepare home made candies with those mangoes rather than letting them rot away. It is a very healthy candy option and it will satisfy all your sweet-tooth desires. My favorite combination for the mango candy is with coconut milk. You will need candy sticks and candy moulds. Make a mango puree, pour it in the mould and place the candy stick in it. Freeze the moulds and consume the delicious candy frozen 😋

Mangoes are a very good source of fructose. Infact, they are at the top of the list of fresh fruits with high fructose content.
