Mango Shake
Description
Mango Shake involves peeling and chopping ripe mangoes or using frozen chunks, then blending them with milk and optional sugar or maple syrup for sweetness. Ice can be added unless frozen mango is used, as it provides chill and texture. The shake should be smooth and thick, made in a blender or food processor.
The natural sweetness of mango means sugar can often be omitted depending on the fruit's ripeness and season. Frozen mango requires good blending power to avoid chunks.
For an even thicker shake, adding banana or vanilla ice cream is an option. Because of oxidation, it's best to consume the shake shortly after preparing as it may discolor slightly when stored.
Ingredients
- 2 Mango 2 cups chopped, fresh or frozen, ripe
- 1 ½ cups milk or dairy free vegan milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar optional, or maple syrup
- ice omit if using frozen mango chunks, small handful
Instructions
- Peel the mangoes and chop into chunks, avoiding the fibrous centre (or use store bought frozen mango chunks).
- Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and whiz until smooth and thick. Enjoy!
Notes
- Assess mango sweetness before adding sugar as ripeness varies seasonally.
- Frozen mango chunks typically don't need added sugar or ice, simplifying the recipe.
- Use a high-speed blender and pulse first with frozen mango to avoid chunks.
- Consume the shake soon after making to prevent discoloration from oxidation.
- For a thicker shake, try adding half a banana or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
