Mango Giveaway {Closed}
As I mentioned in my mangoΒ ice cream post, Whole Foods was nice enough to send me a whole case of mangoes to play around with. And lucky for you, one reader gets to win their own case! The case consists of Mexican Ataulfo mangoes, which are soft, buttery and creamy. You will love these mangoes. I have to tell you, I used our last two today for smoothies and Mike and I are both so sad they’re gone!
To enter to win your very own case of mangoes, just leave a comment on this post telling me what you would do with all those mangoes. For an extra entry, “like” What Megan’s Making on facebook and leave a separate comment letting me know. The contest ends Sunday night at midnight and I will choose a winner via random number generator. Good luck!
Congratulations to comment #129 – Hazel! I sent you an email π Thanks so much for entering!
*Note: If you are worried about how hard mangoes are to peel and eat, check out this handy video from Whole Foods! It definitely helped me π
Welcome! I'm Megan and it's my hope that here you'll find food that has been made with love and recipes that are shared with joy. Thanks for stopping by! 
I love mangoes! I would definitely try making that ice cream and then I would peel and slice a bunch of them to throw into smoothies, stir fries, etc… π
I’d eat them plain after dinner, but then make some frozen yogurt too π
I like What Megan’s Making on facebook!
i would eat them with vanilla ice cream
I would make your mango ice cream for sure, I would make mango salsa, and eat some plain, and also the smoothie (I had mango smoothie for my snack tonight π

This is a GREAT giveaway! Love mangoes!

Mmmm… would peel, chop, and freeze to add to smoothies- I make my hubby a smoothie every morning to take to work. Only way he will eat breakfast! Mangoes would make for a nice change, I typically don’t buy them because they are pricey!
I would make that wonderful sounding ice cream recipe you just posted for sure in my ice cream machine, put some in frozen yogurt, add to fresh fruit salad, and made fresh salsa for salmon. I don’t buy it often because I don’t really know how to choose them and be the right texture.
I became a Facebook fan.
The first thing I’d do is make a huge batch of mango and black bean salsa! Yum. π
I would make fruit salad with mangoes, kiwi, and strawberries!

Yum! I would definitely make smoothies, and add them to our breakfast assortment:).
Mangoes are my all-time favorite fruit. I love to eat them by themselves or with smoothies on a day-to-day basis. I would definitely try to make that mango ice cream recipe you posted and some mango-guacamole as well, if I managed to win!
That’s a lot of mangoes, so I’d puree and freeze most of the to use in smoothies. I would keep a few to eat fresh.
I love mangoes and would just eat them fresh, but am intrigued by the mango ice cream and smoothie. Thanks for the chance!

If I won the mangoes I would definitely chop up a bunch of them for my daily yogurt parfaits. I would also make mango salsa, mango cupcakes with a mango filling and mango frosting, and I would be very tempted to make a mango beer, being that I am a home brewer.
Yum! Definitely smoothies, ice cream and eating whole!

I have been using mangos in smoothies. My new favorite smoothie combination consists of vanilla yogurt, milk, a banana, frozen (or fresh if I win!) mangos, fresh ginger, and a handful of spinach. Delicious and healthy!!

Can you make mango jam? If I won, I’d sure find out! π

We just returned from living in the Philippines for 15 months. Mangoes quickly became a favorite,especially for my husband. E
We love to eat them raw, but our favorite is making a dessert crepe filled with mangoes and topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate and Carmel syrups and sprinkles!!
Liked you on Facebook.
I would definitely try the mango ice cream, and I think a (spiked?) mango milkshake or a mango margarita would also be in order.
mango lassi and mango salsa. yummers!
I make fresh icecream by order. These mangos would be made to be used toward making fresh icecream and sorbet for myself and my clients. Mangos are my favorite fruit as well and I love to add the juice to carbonated water as a fresh spritzer.
I can’t wait to try your mango ice cream!

I am a facebook fan of yours! Mango – mania!!
I have a 3 year old that can eat 2 entire mangos for a snack and a 9 month old who seems to be following in his brothers footsteps. I practically need an entire box if I ever expect to get any or make anything with them.

I would chop them up and eat them for dessert or throw them in smoothies!
I’d just cut them up and put them in a bowl for the kids and us to snack on (plain!) – love mangos!
I love mangos but they’re so expensive! I have a lot of ideas for mangos but I can’t wait to try your mango ice cream and I love the idea of pureeing them and using them in smoothies and lemonade.
I love mangoes – I’d probably eat my fill just as-is. I’d also love to make some smoothies and dehydrate some of them!
