Mango Shake
The Mango Shake blends ripe mangoes with milk and optional sweetener into a smooth, creamy beverage. Its naturally sweet fruit flavor can be adjusted with sugar or syrup and thickeners like banana or ice cream if desired. This shake is refreshing and can use fresh or frozen mango.
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.
