About Mango Smoothie
Mango Smoothie can be prepared in different ways using varied ingredients as per your liking. I can say there is no recipe easier than this especially for breakfast.
Usually Mittu hesitates to try any new recipes so I said its mango drink and gave her. She asked the ingredients that went into the making and I said it was just milk, mango and sugar. If I say honey and nuts she wouldn’t taste it at all. She happily drank it and said it was yummy.
After few days when I was editing the pics, she saw the steps and asked there are so many other ingredients shown here and you said it was only mango milk and sugar?! I never expected this and I was not ready with any answer, then I said it was before I made a separate milkshake just for you and then added the other ingredients to make this smoothie…ah what a relief.
