Mango Lassi - Trim Tuesday

A crappy picture and a yummy treat for your Trim Tuesday. This feels and tastes like a milkshake, but it's so much healthier. I love anything mango, so I was sold on it without even a taste. But then I tasted, and of course, it did not disappoint. The cardamon and pistachios give it such a rich and succulent taste. It definitely "takes you away". If sharing with kids, I recommend leaving those 2 ingredients out as it can be a little much. This would be great for a special occasion drink also.
So, be inspired to be healthy today. Don't be like me, I had a rotten week last week and ended up consuming my weight in junk food. I vow to be better this week.
