This drink is similar to lassi, made tangy with buttermilk (or yogurt), mango and spoonful of lime juice. If you want to make a nondairy version, use almond milk or rice beverage.
1 heaped cup ripe mango, fresh or frozen
1 cup buttermilk or plain low-fat yogurt, or for a nondairy version almond or rice beverage
2 teaspoons mild honey, such as clover
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice (to taste)
6 raw almonds (untoasted)
2 or 3 ice cubes if desired
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend at high speed until smooth.
Yield: One 16-ounce or two 8-ounce servings.
Advance preparation: Smoothies are meant to be made and drunk right away. This will thicken up as it sits, and the flavor will lose its brightness.
