N is for Nectarine

Nectarines belong the same species as peaches. Nectarines can have white or yellow flesh inside and they bruise easily.

Nectarine Smoothie

2. Blend frozen nectarine chunks, milk or milk substitute and 1 Tbsp. honey.
3. Serve immediately!

M is for Mango

Mangoes grow on trees and come in different sizes and colors (yellow, orange, red and green). Mangoes are native to India.

Mangoes with Yogurt and Honey

1. Cut mango in half, peel and cube. It can be challenging to cut a mango because it's so slippery, so exercise caution.
2. Fill a bowl with yogurt (I'd suggest plain), place mango cubes on top and drizzle with honey.

Right now, champagne mangoes are in season. They are smaller than the typical mangoes found in the grocery store. They are a pale green when unripe and then ripen into a speckled yellow. The inner fruit is golden orange and so sweet and creamy, you'll find it hard not to eat the whole mango. They're usually only in season for a short period, so if you see them at the market or grocery store, buy a few to enjoy!
