Day 12: Lassi

mango chunks
I love mangoes! They are extremely juicy and eating one (properly) is a sticky process requiring both hands and your whole face. To eat a mango without juice running down your chin, cube it, as shown in the picture. It’s easy to take chunks off without wasting any of the fruit or making a mess.

Today’s drink is a smoothie-version of a mango lassi.

Mango lassi
~ makes 16oz
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons water
1 large mango, cut up, discard pit
1 cup cashew milk
zest from 1/4 lemon (optional)

mix the chia and water and set aside to make a paste.
Cut up the mango into chicks.
Stir chia seed paste.
Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
This is a delicious drink and requires no added sugar.
Variation: If you leave out the cashew milk, it’s a great mango pudding.

Mangos have cancer-fighting antioxidants, an alkalizing effect on our internal environment, and vitamins A & C, among other benefits

  1. Thanks for the guidelines shared on the blog. Something also important I would like to mention is that fat reduction is not about going on a fad diet and trying to reduce as much weight that you can in a few months. The most effective way to shed weight is by acquiring it slowly but surely and using some basic guidelines which can make it easier to make the most from a attempt to slim down. You may be aware and already be following some of these tips, yet reinforcing information never does any damage.
