Notes on the Banana: For a first puree, you can leave the banana out of this recipe, but I have found that they give the mangos a creamier and smoother consistency.
Additional Spices: Feel free to also add in a pinch of cinnamon, cloves, mild curry powder, mint, basil or fresh ginger before blending.
Storage: Fridge – store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Freezer – can be frozen for up to 4 months.
