What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use very ripe and sweet mangoes like Alphonso or Kesar for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- 2If your kefir is particularly tangy or your mangoes aren't very sweet, you can add 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup to taste.
- 3For a different flavor profile, try adding a pinch of saffron strands or a few fresh mint leaves before blending.
- 4Ensure your almond butter is well-stirred and creamy, as hardened butter from the bottom of the jar won't blend as smoothly.
