Vegan mango smoothie bliss RECIPE

Is there anything sweeter than the arrival of mango season in India?

From March to July, we get to revel in the lusciousness of this fruit, in all its glory!

Beyond their delectable taste, mangoes offer a wealth of nutritional benefits. They're high in vitamins C and A, as well as dietary fibre, and promote our overall well-being. Who doesn't feel healed after having a fresh, ripe mango?
