FOOD OF THE WEEK – MANGO

‍❓I want to know! When was the last time you 1) bought a mango or 2) ate anything with mango in it?


✅ Not only do mangos bring a sweet and exotic flavor to the table, but they also contain a surprisingly long list of vitamins and minerals, as well as good-for-you antioxidants and plant compounds!


They contain factors that help boost your immune system, promote healthy heart function, support your vision, help keep your hair and skin healthy, AND fight cancer!


If you want to take a recipe to the next level, think about adding mangos to it.


✅ Some ideas: salsa … smoothies … fruit salad … stirred into yogurt … or make a quick chutney that you can stir into bean dishes or serve with chicken or fish. Or you can just eat it as is! Yum!

One simple thing can turn a “blah” meal into something spectacular – a sauce or salsa!
