This is gorgeous! A farmer friend of mine makes something similar, but blends it up and serves it as a summer soup with warm corn muffins!

Great idea adding basil! I used to love making grapefruit and basil sorbet. It’s been a while since I’ve seen anyone use it in a sweet dish.

I probably should have indicated that green wasn’t its natural colour and that it ahh… matured to that colour.

No teasing. Just a lot of “ewww!”.

Thanks for all your comments guys! Hope you had a great St Patrick’s Day!

@Sandy – Thanks! Let me know if you like it.
@AverageBetty – LOL, yes avocados too!
@Lorraine – Mmm, pate. Save some for me!
@Soma – Mint is great isn’t it? I just didn’t have any on hand.
@Leela – Yes, it was fate! Enjoy your mango :)
@Y – I’m glad I reminded you of St Paddy’s in the nick of time! ;)
@Pinkpeppercorn – Genius? You’re too kind!
@HungryMouse – Cheers!
@Peter G – It really is refreshing, give it a go :)

@Sophie – Fingers crossed mangoes come your way shortly. Yum!
@Ffichiban – Glad you agree with me! Save all mangoes, LOL.

@Joie de vivre – The second person to call it refreshing! I agree!
@Simon – You had green lunches too? Oh no! I hope you weren’t teased :)

@Lili – That sounds Amazing! Is the recipe on your blog? I’d love to try it.

@Heidi – Wow, what an interesting fact! I’m so glad they have access to such a delicious fruit :)

What a creative breakfast! I know what you mean about the mangos, I have family in Costa Rica, and my sister says the nice thing is that the homeless people never starve during mango season!

Yum. I think this is the healthiest tribute to St Pat’s Day I’ve seen. It’s certainly up there with the tastiest. I love the contrast of basil in desserts.

Sounds delicious! I used to make a delicious frozen beverage with mango, basil and chilli. So good!

Sounds like a great call with the basil. Would never have thought of adding it to something like this. Happy St Patrick’s Day!

Yeah, I remember a number of green lunches in my time. They weren’t funny and far from appetising. Bleh!

Swinging the pendulum the other way, your parfait looks simple and delicious, or simply delicious. Which ever you prefer :)

What a pretty breakfast! it could also be a perfect dessert after dinner.
And I totally agree that it’s a crime to let a mango die :)

Mango and basil sounds like an interesting combo! I either have cereal with milk or oats for breakfast without fail.

Ooo, mango and basil. I’ll have to try it. You’ve certainly got me thinking about the ricotta, banana, maple cinnamon toast. Sounds wonderful. I need a change from brown rice and sultanas.
