I was craving something tropical yesterday (as usual), but couldn't decide between making a mango lassi or making a banana lassi. So why not combine them, I thought? Here's the result -- I loved the unique color and taste combination this turned out to be. The mango was flavorful and tart whereas the banana was smooth and sweet. Combined with a little lime juice, honey, and yogurt this was really a superb and refreshing snack.

Here's how I made it:
1. First I skinned a ripe mango and cut the flesh into pieces.
2. In a blender I combined the following: fresh mango, one banana, 2-3 tsp honey (for sweetening), 1 tsp lime juice (for a little tartness), Greek yogurt, and some frozen mango pieces (to keep the drink nice and cold).
3. Blend briefly. Don't blend too long in order to keep the drink cool and thick.
