My old standard smoothie recipe used to be ice, fruit, ice cream and lots of liquor.
I could never get enough of those rum and/or vodka spiked concoctions, which I drank by the bucketful and although they had quite a kick, they always made me feel that I am drinking healthy, what with all that fruit in it…… 🙂
So after I went cold turkey two years ago, I never felt the craving for smoothies, because frankly – no booze? – then what’s the point ?
But then somebody treated me to a smoothie about a week ago and I was hooked again. That particular smoothie was made with just mango and ice, no other ingredients. Although it was pretty good, it was at the same time lacking some more refinement, either in the form of some booze 😦 or some other taste and texture enhancer.
So today I had these slightly over-ripe mangos and nectarines in the cupboard, yogurt in the fridge and thanks to modern appliances, Ice is always just a push of a finger away at the ice-dispenser. I added a bit of organic honey, some 2% milk –
And just like that, Voilà ! My new favorite drink was born 🙂

I love mango smoothies and I think the peaches or nectarines would just improve on it. I freeze peeled mangos and then put them in the food processor with nothing else except maybe a squeeze of lemon juice. It makes a nice topping for any dessert. Add some whipped cream and … oh dear … I sense a diet coming up.

Hi Eli,
The amount of honey I use depends on the quantity I prepare for myself. If I make just one glass, I use more honey: if I make a full blender just for myself, I use less honey 🙂 Equally good in my opinion 🙂
That’s why I am not a “recipe-nazi” – everybody should prep the food the way it suits them best ! Life is Good ! Cheers !
