Is it hot where you are? I’ve been hiking around New York City in 94°F heat, and I’m about to head back to the Midwest where it is still in the high 80s. It’s so hot, most food doesn’t even sound good. Drinks, on the other hand, especially fruity drinks, sound heavenly. Here’s one that I’ve been sucking down for breakfast, since it offers both nourishment and refreshment.

This is an ultra-simple smoothie; those of you who frequently make smoothies for breakfast probably try versions of this all the time. But if you don’t make smoothies very often (I don’t) then give this super-quick, super-easy smoothie a try. It’s icy cold, and not too sweet, but very refreshing. All that yogurt is cool and tangy, and a good ripe mango provides all the sweetness you need.
