I Tried This Avacado Mango Milkshake

But with some modifications. I didn't have all of the ingredients at home so I had to improvise. I got the recipe from Whole Living, and the original serving size it 6, but since I didn't know what it was going to taste like I made enough for 2 servings.


Original:
-1 avacado pitted and peeled
-1 mango peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped
-1 pint low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt
1/2 to 3/4 cup low fat milk

Directions:
Put it all in the blender!

La Vida Project's Recipe
-1 avacado pitted and peeled
-1/2 mango peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped
-3/4 cup of plain non-fat yogurt
-3/4 -1 cup of low fat milk
-2 tablespoons of honey (not necessary if your mango is really sweet, mine was white and not very juicy)
