This was pretty good and very healthy, but I like plain mango sorbet better, purely as a matter of personal taste. Thanks for posting; it was fun to try something different! -
It's great! -
Very yummy, but I couldn't really taste the green tea. I'm wondering if it's because the mangoes were so large. Next time, I'm going to try this by making more of the strong green tea or less mangoes. Thanks, Cynna for a great recipe for a healthy alternative to ice cream!

Really delicious and exotic-tasting. I loved the green tea/mango combo. This is company-worthy and I highly recommend anyone try it. I used my ice cream maker rather than do the freezer tray/processor thing.
