Mango-Banana

Sliced mangos and bananas with cinnamon is another common and favorite breakfast/snack in our home. The ratio is usually 1:1.  Hydrating, nutritious, fiber, naturally sweet.

How I cut a mango is on this post:

Something else I didn't know: People with diabetes don't need to avoid whole fruit. Type 1 can manage their insulin resistance through a whole-foods, plant-based diet. Type 2 can reverse and eliminate their diabetes. For more information, see MasteringDiabetes.org
The good news: I'm no longer pre-diabetic and my blood pressure has dropped well into the healthy range.

Cutting Mango Tecnique

Here are two techniques for cutting mangos. The first one takes longer but is what I usually do when I serve it with a fork (less messy). The second method is much faster but be prepared with dental floss and damp napkins because the fruit fiber gets stuck in teeth and the fruit could be sticky.

There is a large flat seed in the fruit.
Turn the fruit on the side that looks
the longest and thinnest.

Cut along the flat side of the seed

Cut along the other side

Cut along the curved edge of the seed

Try to cut as much fruit as possible off of the seed

Cut the larger portions into thirds

Slide knife along the skin to remove fruit.
Don't worry about getting close to the fruit's skin

Press down on one edge of the piece and
slice the blade across to get more mango

Flip piece around and get the other end

Second method:

Score the pieces of fruit without

cutting all the way through,

then invert the pieces to push out

the fruit to bite into
