How many ways with mangoes?

[dawnz]

I didn't stick to my shopping list the other day and was tempted by two mangoes. What is a good recipe for them? I can only think of mango chutney then of course there's the curry and the poppadums! I hate wasting food so I am looking for inspiration in a no carb fairly low fat kinda way I know this is the best place to ask

How about some coconut water and add it in a blender for a smoothie??

I'd have gone chutney first as well but then also a mango / goats cheese or blue cheese salad - with some walnuts and baby spinach.

Freeze some of the mango then blitz (whilst still frozen) with lime juice / zest and yogurt to make like an ice cream (ive done with frozen mango and frozen mixed berries before and its great to have in the freezer!)

Cubed and on cocktail sticks with a king prawn and some lime dressing! Sublime.

Or just eat some as fresh fruit.

Hello dawnz . I'm answering too late for those two mangos but have you tried liquidising them with some creme fraiche and a little honey, then chilling? Should make a wonderful homemade mousse? I haven't tried that yet, mind, but I've done it with other fruit. Not a treat for every day, but as an Occasional Naughty?

Or 50/50 yoghurt and milk. Mango lassi.

... And of course, although TheAwfulToad is far too gentlemanly a reptilian to say so, his idea is MUCH healthier than Auld Betty's... I shall certainly try it. Sounds to be the Thinking Person's Milk Shake. B x
