Paradise Mango Lemonade
"This is my first recipe post. Made this for a school project and was a real crowd pleaser. I had it with fresh squeezed lemonade, even though everybody love both, this one was preferred. Very healthy, too. It's a Belizean recipe."

This is a fantastic refreshing drink,I needed something new to do with the hundreds of mango's we got of our trees and this drink is definatly a keeper -
i made this driink and it was delicious but I didn't love it but I love mangoes -
Very nice sweet tropical drink. I should have used advice of other posts and used less sugar or splenda as it is a bit sweet for my taste. It would also be great as an alcoholic drink with a bit of vodka or maybe rum... -
This was delicious. I used sparkling mineral water instead of plain water and used only 1 cup of sugar. It was sweet enough, next time I will try 3/4 cup of sugar. -
I was looking for a recipe to use up some mangoes that I had on hand and tried- so glad I did! It's very refreshing! I did cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup since I knew my mangoes were sweet enough but followed the recipe otherwise. Thanks!

We realy enjoyed this drink. Very refreshing in this heat and with lovely contrasting flavours. sweet from the mango and after you drink you get a tart after tast from the lemon. I made 2 minor changes, I only used 1 cup of sugar and it was still more then sweet and instead of limes I used lemons because its very hard to come by limes here. I got to cups of puree from 1 large mango.
