Mango and Greek Yogurt Freeze
serves 1
This drink delivers the essence of mangoes, which are at their best in spring and summer.
Mangoes that are green and hard should ripen after a few days at room temperature. The
feel and smell of the mango are much more important than the color. Never refrigerate
unripe mangoes. If ripe mangoes aren’t available, look for jarred mango in the produce
section or bags of mango chunks in the frozen food section, now available from Trader
Joe’s and Dole. When mangoes are in season (and usually on sale), I buy them in bulk, cut
the fruit into chunks, and freeze it in airtight containers.
