Mangoes are back in season and so is our love for it. Here are 16 easy ways to make your summers sweet-i-licious:
It takes about 10 minutes to make this. All you need is 2 peeled medium-sized mangoes, cucumber, finely chopped sweet onion, lime juice, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, roughly chopped cilantro leaves, salt and pepper. You can add as many veggies as you want. Enjoy with chips or nachos.
2. Mango Smoothie

3. Mango Chia Pudding
Mango and chia makes for a perfect combo for light, yet fulfilling mornings. It takes less than 5 minutes to make it. Put milk, chia seeds and maple syrup in a jar and let it refrigerate over night. Add fresh mango puree or chopped mangoes to it the next morning and enjoy a healthy breakfast.
4. Eggless Mango Mousse
This divine dessert needs only mango puree and cream. You can put them in layers in a glass and let it refrigerate for 4 hours or more. Garnish it with some berries and mint, and you’re good to go.
5. Mango Iced Tea
This acts like a coolant. It requires a few black or green tea bags, besides water, mango, sugar and some ice cubes. It takes about 15-20 minutes to make this. Blend mango pieces and water. Place this mixture with sugar over medium heat for a minute to make the syrup. Brew some strong black tea separately. Let both cool, mix it and serve.
You can beat the heat with this refreshing drink. Making it is easier for those (including me) who struggle to peel the mangoes. It takes 3 medium sized green raw mangoes, sugar, roasted cumin powder, black salt, water, mint leaves and ice.
