mango-wrapped bananas

Here's something that I made just because it was healthy, but actually turned out tasting really decadent and sweet. The recipe is from the current issue - June 2008. I even had just a so-so mango. I made it with nonfat yogurt, and only one tablespoon of honey instead of two. I also used 1/2 tablespoon of OJ concentrate instead of orange juice. I do that because we don't drink OJ, and Vegetarian Times often calls for a spoonful here and there.

Now, I understand that they like to make nice pictures for the magazine. I am not opposed to nice pictures. However, when you take a piece of banana and wrap it in a strip of mango, you really just end up with a choking hazard. That said, this was one of those recipes where all the flavors together tasted better that the sum of it's parts. And that's what being a BVTRE is all about. I will make this again for sure, but maybe in a salad form. Maybe it would be good cut into bite-sized pieces served on a toothpick with the yogurt as a dipping sauce. Besides, mangoes just don't slice into thin strips.

One serving is just 3 points. My picture shows one choking hazard less than a serving.
