Report
Filipino Mango Shake is a dairy-free frozen beverage made by blending ripe Philippine mangoes with crushed ice, water, and a touch of honey. Unlike Western milkshakes, this traditional drink emphasizes the pure, intense flavor of sweet mangoes, creating a slushy, refreshing treat perfect for tropical weather.

Ingredients
- 3 ripe mangoes Hinog na mangga, flesh scooped out and roughly chopped
- 2 cups crushed ice Durog na yelo
- 1 cup cold water Malamig na tubig
- 1 tablespoon honey Pulot - adjust to taste
Instructions
- Begin by choosing mangoes that are very ripe. They should be soft to touch and have a sweet aroma.
- Slice each mango lengthwise around the pit. Score the flesh in a crisscross pattern, then scoop it out with a spoon into your blender.
- Add 2 cups of crushed ice to the blender, followed by 1 cup of cold water and 1 tablespoon of honey.
- Blend everything on high speed for one minute until completely smooth and slushy.
- Pour immediately into a chilled 16-ounce glass and serve right away.
- If making ahead for later, store in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours, but know that the texture is best when enjoyed fresh. For an extra-cold drink, try freezing your serving glass for 10 minutes before pouring in your shake. This recipe serves one large portion or can be split into two smaller servings.
Notes
- Q: Why don't you use milk in this shake? A: Traditional Filipino fruit shakes focus on the pure fruit flavor and use water instead of milk for a lighter, more refreshing drink.
- Q: How do I know if my mangoes are ripe enough? A: The mangoes should be slightly soft to touch and have a strong, sweet aroma. The skin should be mostly yellow-orange with some hints of red.
- Q: Can I make this in advance? A: This shake is best consumed immediately after blending. The texture changes if left too long.
- Q: Is this shake healthy? A: Yes! It's made with natural ingredients and is rich in vitamins A and C. The sugar content comes primarily from the natural sugars in the mango.
- Q: Can I use frozen mangoes? A: Fresh mangoes are strongly recommended for authentic taste, but frozen can work in a pinch. Use slightly less ice if using frozen mangoes.
