Now that I think about it, mango DOES have rather a subtle flavor that is apt to be overwhelmed by others. It IS lovely to eat on its own, though.

yeah, when it's on its own, it's easier to taste. the ex-husband used to make mango milkshakes and mango lassi and those were nice. i don't mind it, like when i get a fruit salad from sr. mango's, i let them put in whatever they do, and i eat it, because i figure it's good for me, but the mango and papaya are not my favorites. mango is good when it's really ripe and ready. i'd probably like it more if i knew how to pick it, lol. guess i should ask sr. mango ...

my best friend from junior high/high school had an avocado tree in her backyard. she used to sell them to the neighbors, but she let me have them for free. man, i love avocado. in fact, the first time i had a blta (blt with avocado) was at her house. yum! i've never had a mango fresh from the tree - i'm sure it tastes a lot like heaven. :)

hooray for a magic bullet! i really want to get a crazy, serious blender. like a blendtech or the holy grail, a vitamix, lol.

i'm glad you've been enjoying the recipes. these aren't mine, they are from this smoothie challenge i'm doing, so i can't by rights put them into a book, but maybe later if i start coming up with my own delicious combinations. ;)
