Healthy, because
The sweet and universally popular mango is tasty, rich in defensive vitamin C and skin-enhancing vitamin A. And for those who are already tired after the main course: The mint pesto has a stimulating effect, making up for the tiredness and can calm the stomach in many ways.
Even smarter
For the vegan preparation of the sweet and spicy dessert (or side dish), only a yoghurt alternative to taste must be used.
