Mango-Ginger Smoothie

• 2 ripe mangoes (about 3/4 pound each) or 1 mango and 1 banana
• 2 pieces crystallized ginger, about 1 ounce
• 1 cup lowfat buttermilk
• One 8-ounce container lowfat vanilla yogurt
• Handful of chipped ice

1. To cut mango into pieces, stand it on end and slice the flesh off both sides of the central pit.
2. Lay each half on a cutting board and with the tip of your knife, score the flesh in a cross-hatch pattern.
3. Pushing from the skin side, turn inside out so that the mango flesh pops up; slice it off the skin.
4. Also cut off the remaining flesh from around the pit and remove the skin.
5. In a blender, puree the fruit and ginger, scraping down the sides as necessary.
6. Add the buttermilk, yogurt and ice and puree until smooth and frothy.
7. Pour into glasses.
