Blender

2 Pakistani or Indian mangoes (other mangoes will do, but you may want to add a couple of dates for sweetness)

water from 1 young coconut

meat from 1 young coconut

1 banana, plus extra slices for garnish

Blend all of the ingredients together. Pour into long glasses and decorate with a slice of banana. If the coconut meat is a bit tough, and you don’t have a high-power blender, omit it.

Contributor’s note:
This drink is great to wake up to. Make it when you know it’s going to be a hot day, take it to the beach or to a lovely green hill, and sip it as the sun comes up.
