My best friend is having her first baby. \u00a0It\u2019s hard to put into words how absolutely thrilled I am about this. \u00a0I tell everyone I can, \u201cmy best friend is pregnant,\u201d \u201cmy best friend is having a baby,\u201d \u201cmy best friend is going to be a mom!\u201d \u00a0I can\u2019t shut up about it.<\/p>\n

From the beginning, I knew I wanted to make her feel special during her pregnancy. \u00a0So, I decided to celebrate every week by making her something featuring the fruit or vegetable of the baby\u2019s size. \u00a0You know, week 7 your baby is the size of a blueberry. \u00a0Week 15, your baby is the size of an orange.<\/p>\n

When week 19 rolled around, I was actually kinda stumped. \u00a0Mango. \u00a0Hmmmm\u2026.maybe because there were too many options, I wasn\u2019t sure where to go with it. \u00a0It wasn\u2019t until we were out celebrating my birthday during week 18 that I got my inspiration. \u00a0My best friend and her husband decided to take me out for Indian food (surprise, right?), and while we were walking out after lunch, my friend noticed someone drinking a lassi. \u00a0After mentioning that she\u2019d never had one, I knew what I was going to make with that mango for week 19.<\/p>\n

Turns out it\u2019s the best smoothie I\u2019ve made yet. \u00a0So simple, it\u2019s practically not even a recipe. \u00a0All you need is some yogurt, fruit and a blender. \u00a0It\u2019s creamy, perfectly sweet and really, really addictive. \u00a0I think I ended up making this drink at least 3 or 4 times that very weekend. \u00a0You know, just to make sure I had the recipe down right. \u00a0And my favorite pregnant momma drank the whole thing in one sitting. \u00a0Success.<\/p>\n

I bet all the mommas out there would love this on Mother\u2019s Day. \u00a0Just a thought\u2026<\/p>\n
