Being a Caribbean girl means that I get to enjoy some amazing tropical fruits, like mangos. I used to walk down the streets to the market and buy some fresh mangos, they are the best snack and ingredient for any recipe. It is a versatile fruit and you can make thousands of recipes with it including this mango lemonade recipe.
I always look forward to making this lemonade anytime it’s mango season because it brings joy to my heart but also brings back my childhood memories. Mangos are one of my many best friends.
I love this lemonade not only because it has mangos in it but also because it is refreshing especially since it is getting warmer. It isn’t too thick nor too sweet and the blend with the freshly squeezed lemon and the mango purée is simply amazing. However, this drink has more than just sweetness it also contains some health benefits since we are using fresh mangos.
Mangos aren’t just delicious but they are filled with some amazing health benefits. After doing some research, I’ve found that mangos contain these benefits:
- Mangos contain a natural source of vitamin A and C. This is perfect to boost your immune system and it can also be an alternative to oranges. It also contains vitamin E.
- Mangos contain a decent amount of B6 in them as well along with fibre and calcium.
- Mangos also aid in constipation related issues.
You can research the benefits for yourself while sipping on a tall glass of this mango lemonade recipe.
I hope you enjoy the recipe.
