A huge healthy smoothie Tuesday welcome to Steve's kitchen. Today I'm going to be
sharing with you a personal favorite of mine, I made it a few weeks back on a
live show and it is so delicious I absolutely love mango lassis and they
are full of the richness and the goodness of a probiotic yogurt and we
are going to be using mangoes in this one which are fantastic for your
digestion, for your skin bone structure and eyes. So all in all a pretty perfect
smoothie, so let's get going. Now I've already started prepping my mangoes, I've
cut one of them in half and diced it, I want this to decorate the top and we'll get
on and do the next one. What I do is just cut into the skin of the mango and then
let the blade follow, I'll just turn that around so you can see it. I let the blade
follow the edge of the pip and then we can just take a smaller knife and score
into the mango, some little cross hatches going that way and then across this way.
Don't push too hard you don't want to cut your hand and then when you pop this
inside out, you've got like a little Hedgehog of mango. I'm just going to use the back of
the spoon to knock the cubes off into my blender. Now again I'll just let the
knife follow the edge of the stone, we'll be trimming the flesh and getting all
the meat off of the stone as well. Now your mango does want to be beautiful and
juicy and fresh like this one, make sure when you give it a squeeze in the shop
that it gives and it's not too firm. Well this is full of the sticky juices of
mango that I absolutely love, it's all I can do not to just put my teeth into
this and eat this mango as it is. That's one and a half mangos with the piece
we've kept for decorating, so I've got all my lovely mango cut up there, I've
got a big tub of yogurt here. It's got all the fats on the top, I'm going to
take two cups of this gorgeous yogurt and add it into my blender, thats half a
cup of coconut water, quarter of a teaspoon of ground cardamom. I've got
some fresh nutmeg here, I'm just going to grate that in. Now the spices are
optional but I would certainly use these and a good pinch of salt just to enhance
all the flavors. Now pop it on to your blender and I want to blend this on high
for one minute and get that lid off of there, just have a look in here. I am so
looking forward to this, it's so rich and delicious. We're not actually going to
serve this in the glass as we would do normally, instead this week we're going
to make this into a smoothie Bowl or a bowl smoothie. Now I'm just going to take
some cubes of fresh mango and I'm just going to lay this across the top of the
smoothie. Now this has made to decent size smoothies, I've also just toasted off a
little bit of flaked coconut and what I'm going to do is just lay this across
the middle of the bowl, I'm going to sprinkle a little bit of cardamom over
the top. Now I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to tucking into this,
it's still a smoothie, yes it's in a bowl but it's like a thick custard almost.
I've got some of that beautiful coconut, the toasted coconut there, here goes, you
know you want to be me, you know you want to try this and I'm sure you will let me
know in the comments if you enjoy it. Tuck in oh well yum yum yum yum! if you
haven't had a mango lassi before I implore you to give it a try in a bowl,
in a glass, whichever. I'm going in for a second try, I absolutely know you're
going to love this one and I'm sure you'll be back next Tuesday for another healthy
smoothie. Be good until then, I will see you next time, take care
