Halfway between fruit-packed smoothie and rich milkshake, this tropical banana-mango concoction makes a killer summer drink. If you want to sneak it in for breakfast, try changing out the ice cream for yogurt.

1 whole mango
1 whole banana
2 scoops French vanilla ice cream
1 1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
Peel and dice the mango and banana and place in a blender with the ice cream, milk, and sugar. Process until smooth.
Pour into tall glasses and serve immediately.
For an adult version, consider adding a splash of rum or coconut rum.
Use ripe, sweet fruits for the best flavor.
For a creamier texture, freeze the banana slices before blending.
Try different milk alternatives like almond or oat milk.
Adjust the sweetness by adding dates or maple syrup as natural sweeteners.
Blend in a handful of spinach or kale for added nutrients without affecting the taste.
Any ripe mango variety can be used. Look for a fragrant, soft mango for best results.
Yes, frozen fruit can be used for a thicker, colder milkshake. Just adjust the amount of ice cream or milk as needed.
You can experiment with different flavors like coconut, pineapple, or even plain yogurt for a lighter option.
Substitute the ice cream with dairy-free alternatives like coconut milk ice cream or almond milk yogurt.
Try adding berries, pineapple, or even avocado for added creaminess.
If you prefer a colder and thicker consistency, you can add a handful of ice cubes before blending.
Experiment with coconut milk or pineapple juice as part of the liquid for a more tropical flavor.
You can add more milk or a splash of orange juice to thin out the milkshake.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
