Super Smoothies

Phtograph by Tim MacKay

These three frozen drinks make a healthy mid-afternoon snack or after-dinner indulgence. For each one, place the ingredients listed in a blender and combine until smooth.

Ingredients

WATERMELON BATIDO
3 cups frozen seedless watermelon chunks
1/2 cup almond milk (serves 3)
BANANA-HONEY SMOOTHIE
1 banana
1/2 cup milk, 2 teaspoons honey

1 cup ice (serves 2)
MANGO LASSI
1 small, ripe mango *
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/4 cup water, 1 cup ice (serves 2)

Tips:

* We like ataulfo (also called champagne) mangoes, for their extra-sweet flavor (you can use fresh or frozen; just defrost the latter before using). If you use another kind, sweeten the recipe with a tablespoon of honey.
