The Refreshinator
« on: December 02, 2012, 07:03:20 am »
My friend Belinda got me onto this magic juice as I tried to create her favourite flavours from her local juice bar. It's the perfect juice for Summer! Refreshalicious!

Ingredients

Flesh of 2 mangoes

200-300g watermelon

1 - 2 tablespoon fresh mint leaves (or to taste)

1 tray ice cubes (10-12)

200g – 500g cold water (I usually use about 300g)

How to

Place everything except the water into TM bowl and chop for 30 seconds on speed 8 .
Add water and mix for 2 minutes on speed 8.

No but it's quite thick. I thought it would be super watery with all the watermelon but the mango gives it a lovely texture. I like my juices quite thick so I only used about 300ml water but just add more or less to suit your tastebuds. It's really delicious and the perfect juice for Summer, sooooo refreshing!  :)

The good thing about mint, is not only that it tastes so fresh and fab, but it's seriously easy to grow. I have killed a lot of herbs in my herb garden but the mint is invincible!

Uni - all mint needs is just a little bit of sun - not too much - and lots of water!  Keep a deepish saucer underneath a pot and give it a good watering . . . My DD lost a lot basil and parsley on the balcony of her 3rd floor apt. . . .courtesy of the local ringtails!!  Keeps them covered now with an old birdcage but also puts out a plate of veg/fruit offerings for the possums -  Mum and two babies have been seen sucking on half orange skins - herbs have been spared . . ;D ;D ;D

Mmmmmm, this looks yummy... TAT, do you think tinned mangoes would be just as good after the fresh ones go out of season?

How cute about the possums, I have them here, I have only seen them a couple of times, but if I'm having a restless night I hear them running along the roof.  I have killed mint, I now have some inherited from my Mum, I hope I can keep it alive, she always had it looking good.  This drink sounds nice I will make it when I get some more cheap Mango's.
