Rocky Mountain Lodge & Cabins of Cascade, Colorado. Debbie says, "I found this recipe in a Bed and Breakfast cookbook
a number of years ago and have been making it for out guests for several years and it's always a huge
hit. it's cool and refreshing and a beautiful starter to our 3-course
breakfasts. We serve it as "soup" at the inn because of the chunks of mangos
in the bottom that you can spoon, but you can also skip the chunks of mangos
in the bottom of the dish and enjoy it as a smoothie."
