Good Morning Granola

I love granola, but sometimes it can be challenging to find one that actually tastes delicious and not just plain and boring. This granola is another gem from Trader Joe's...mango and passion fruit. Honestly, I would have never picked those two flavors for a granola because it sounds a little too adventurous right? Well it's definitely a super yummy summer breakfast that fills you up and gives you the energy you need to take on the day. It's also really great because it isn't too sweet and there are real chunks of dried mango in it. I decided to have mine with a touch of milk, though I could have thrown it in with my Greek yogurt. Let's just put it this way, no matter how you eat it, you will enjoy it. So pop open the box and pour yourself a bowl and enjoy your morning!

Mango Tango

You may think that this is a regular mango, however, you would be surprised to find that it is actually an ataulfo mango. It is indigenous to Mexico and somewhat similar to a regular mango, but much smaller. They have the same inedible core with juicy yellow flesh, but it is definitely not super sweet. It is a bit on the acidic side actually, which is interesting. As you chew, it tastes like a mango, but the usual sweet aftertaste was not there. The thing I did like about this mango was that the flesh was not as stringy, so it didn't get stuck in my teeth. When I enjoyed my mango this morning, I also had raspberries and blackberries which helped to add sweetness and balance the acidity. Overall, it is a unique fruit that everyone should try. Take a chance and tango with a new mango!
