I came across this recipe in Recipezaar when I was searching for mango recipes for this month’s Weekend Breakfast Blogging – May Mango Madness hosted by Arundati, originally started by Nandita. Inspite of the good reviews, I was not sure if we would like the combination of these two fruits, so I scaled down the measurements. But to my surprise it tasted very good.
Ingredients:
Raspberries, fresh or frozen – 1/2 cup
Maongo chunks, fresh or frozen – 1/2 cup
Plain Yogurt/Vanilla Yogurt – 1/2 cup
Milk – 2 cups
Honey/Sugar – as per your taste
Vanilla essence – 1 teaspoon (if you are using plain yogurt)
Procedure:
1. In a blender add the fruits, yogurt, honey and 1 cup of milk and blend it smooth. If your using fresh fruits you can also add few ice cubes during this stage. I used frozen fruits, so I thawed them at room temperature just for 5 minutes and blended it.
2. Now add the remaining milk or as much as required to get the desired consistency.
This also goes to my dear friend Dee’s AFAM – Raspberry event.

I *love* that first pic!
You sound like a sweet tooth person, does this smoothie even need any honey?
May 28th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Thanks everybody for your lovely comments. All the pictures in the blog are taken by my husband. I’ll definitely pass the appreciation to him.
Hetal, I have sent you a mail. Check it out.
JZ welcome to my blog. Yes it was nice and creamy, I loved it.
Uma, neither my husband nor my son liked it. So I drank it all. No need to share!
Arundathi, tell me about it. I also was not sure how it would taste, but it was definitely worth trying.
Kaykat, yep I’m a sweet (yes pun intended. see my name itself is madhuram) addict. The frozen mangoes I got in Trader Joes, were not sweet and the raspberries are also tart, so little (lot of honey, actually for me) honey is necessary.

Smoothies are the best! So delicious and easy too.

I’ve made smoothies, but never thought of putting vanilla essence into it. Thank you for the recipe. I’m sure it taste really good and quite healthy too.

That is a really nice looking drink. I like the idea of using frozen mangoes, I hate the pureed mangoes you get in Indian stores.
May 29th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
yum! that is a healthy and delicious smoothie…

Is there a difference between vanilla “essence” and vanilla “extract”? Love your site! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipes!!
You’re welcome Samantha. As far as I know extract is pure, extracted from real vanilla pods (but there is imitation extract too) and essence is man made from synthetics, which is artificial flavoring. Both can be used interchangeably.
