A Real American Breakfast: The Best Meal of the Day, Any Time of the Day

Servings:	1
Author Notes:	Similar to a fruit smoothie, though East Indian in origin and seasoning, mango lassi makes a superb breakfast drink, as we learned from an Indian-American child in Albuquerque. Top with chopped pistachios or a few slivered almonds.
Ingredients:	1 cup chopped ripe mango (about 1 mango) OR 1 cup chopped cantaloupe, watermelon, or honeydew 1/2 cup plain yogurt 4 to 6 ice cubes sugar and ground cardamom to taste chopped pistachios or slivered almonds for garnish
Instructions:	Puree until smooth. Check the flavor and add sugar and more cardamon if needed. If practical, refrigerate the lassi for an hour or longer before serving. Pour into tall glasses and sprinkle with chopped nuts if you wish.
