MANGOES HAVE ARRIVED - DID YOU HAVE THEM YET?



BLENDZ in Avenues Phase II serves fresh mango juice with bits of mango pieces

BLENDZ in Avenues Phase II also serves any fresh juice of your choice from their fruits displayed
This is a rather late post. Two weeks ago,  I stopped by BLENDZ  at Avenues Mall (1st floor, phase II), and asked what fresh fruit juices were they serving and the lady at the counter went 'We have fresh mango juice with little pieces in them, it's very nice'. She gave me a sample in a tiny paper cup and I enjoyed every bit of it. The mango juice was fresh and the presence of little pieces of mangoes really added to the great taste and feel. 'Do you want Ma'am?' the lady asked. 'Yes, please!' I went. After the mango juice, I walked for another one hour! LOL. If you are in Avenues, try the fresh mango juice with little mango pieces in them from BLENDZ. You will surely enjoy it.


Alphonso mango tree

Mangoes are a rich source of iron, vitamin A, E and selenium and antioxidants. Alphonso mangoes, one of the most fragrant and delicious varities of mangoes, have started to arrive in Kuwait. I picked up a few good ones from Geant. Very soon, all the supermarkets will be flooded with several varities of mangoes, 


Fresh mango juice (Alphonso)
One cup of fresh sliced mango : 107 calories
Unsweetned fresh ripe mango juice 200 ml : 115 to 120 calories
KDD Mango juice : 118 calories (200 ml pack)

For weight loss aspirants: A cup of sliced mangoes or 200 ml to 250 ml fresh mango juice is not going to sabotage your diet so long as you ensure you don't cross the 1500 or 1200 calorie, whichever calorie controlled diet you are on. And ofcourse...do exercise!
