Mango Froyo & Banana "Ice Cream"

I found this recipe online for mango frozen Greek yogurt so I bought a couple mangoes and decided to give it a try. I don't have a picture because it kind of just turned out to be the consistency of a smoothie, and I'm not sure why. I followed the instructions pretty well; they were simple enough anyway. I tried to add banana and then ice to see if it would get thicker but I think it just made it more smoothie-like.

As for the taste well it was amazing. It's such a simple recipe; you literally just blend frozen chopped mangoes (and I added frozen banana), a little almond milk or coconut milk, some honey, and Greek yogurt. I think I may have added too much almond milk, which may be the reason it turned out as it did but it was really hard to blend without it.

I may make this again just as a smoothie but I am pretty glad I tried it. It was a great post-workout snack. Each serving is only like, 140 calories too, which is pretty sweet. I ate a serving and a half though just because I kept trying it to see if I liked the consistency.

A couple days ago I tried something similar, blogilates' banana ice cream which I had been wanting to try for like, ages, and it was sooo good. I was pretty hungry at the time but basically it's just frozen banana, a bit of peanut butter, I added some honey and almond milk, and it was perfect. The consistency was good, the taste was amazing, and it made me feel like I was eating real ice cream. Such a good snack. I'm amazed. The size was a bit small but I think it was a good pre-workout snack or probably a good post-workout snack too.

Here's how it came out:
(the picture makes it look kinda gross but you can still see the creamy consistency)



Anyway I'm happy I tried these and can't wait to try more snacks.
