Yellow fruits delight not only with their colour and taste but also have wide applications in cosmetology. This delicious drink from exotic mango will satisfy the most discerning taste buds and perfectly nourish dry skin. Preparation takes only a moment.

Mango is often called the "king of fruits" or the "fruit of youth." It tempts with its taste and attracts with its unique aroma. Who among us hasn't dreamed of a juicy piece of this exotic fruit on a hot day? But mango is more than just a tasty snack. Its beneficial effect on the skin makes it a real treasure in natural care.

The health benefits of mango

Few people know that mangoes are a treasure trove of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins A, C, and E, which support cell regeneration. Regular consumption of this fruit can improve skin elasticity and quick hydration, consequently reducing wrinkles.

Mango also greatly improves the condition of hair and nails and benefits our immune system. Additionally, it is rich in antioxidants that protect cells from the harmful effects of free radicals.

It's a true gem among fruits. Mango is rich in dietary fibre, helps maintain a healthy digestive system, and can support blood sugar control, an important aspect for people caring about their health. Interestingly, thanks to its unique taste and nutritional values, mango also has its place in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. It is considered a fruit that brings harmony to the body and mind.

Drink this beverage and your skin will thank you

Mango can be served in various forms. One of the most popular drinks using it is the Indian "mango lassi." It pairs wonderfully as an addition to spicy dishes and quenches thirst perfectly. Consumed regularly, the drink beautifully hydrates the skin and improves its condition. To make "mango lassi," you will need one to two ripe mangos, two cups of natural yogurt, half a cup of cold water, and a tablespoon of honey.

In a container, pour natural yogurt and add peeled, diced mango (if you can't buy fresh mango, you can use mango pulp available in supermarkets). Add a tablespoon of honey and water. Blend everything into a smooth, creamy mass. Pour into a glass. The drink can be served with chopped nuts or almonds. A sprig of fresh mint will decorate the whole thing beautifully. It's best to chill in the refrigerator before serving.
