🧾 Ingredient Notes

Mangoes: 

• Fresh: I highly recommend using fresh and perfectly ripe, sweet mangoes for making a mango shake. Slightly unripe or slightly sour mango and milk don’t pair well. So make sure to use ripe mangoes. 
  • In India, Alphonso mango (hapus keri) is the best choice. Since it is a little expensive fruit, the next best choice is Kesar. You can mix both as well.
  • Here in the USA, Ataulpho mango (a Mexican fruit) is a good variety to make milkshake.
• Frozen: You can use a frozen pack of mango chunks. Or you can freeze your ripe, chopped mangoes for later use. 
• Canned pulp: Yeah, you can use canned mango pulp if that’s what you have on hand. I would choose this as the last option. 

Milk: 

• Dairy: Full-fat whole milk is recommended for a creamy texture as this is made without ice cream. However, you can use low-fat or fat-free milk. 
• Non-dairy: To make this milkshake vegan, you can use non-dairy milk such as almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or soya milk. 

Sugar: A little amount of sugar is required even though your mangoes are super sweet. 

👩‍🍳 How To Make Mango Milkshake Recipe?

1. Peel and chop the mangoes. Add chopped mangoes, milk, and sugar in a blender.
2. Blend it until smooth and creamy. Pour into serving glass and serve immediately. 

💭 Expert Tips

• Chill the fruit before making a milkshake to get a chilled milkshake. I would recommend keeping whole mango in the refrigerator and peel, chop right before making shake otherwise chopped mango will start to oxidize (just like apples) and start to discolor. 
• Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of your fruit.
• With Ice cream: Add a scoop of ice cream for 1 serving and reduce the sugar a little bit.

🥣 Can I Store Mango Milkshake?

• Always consume mango milkshake fresh, right away after making it.
• I do not recommend storing it in the fridge as it starts to change its color and fresh flavor is also compromised.
• However, you can keep it in the fridge for 1-2 hours only but not more than that. 

📖 Combining Milk And Mangoes As Per Ayurveda

• As per Ayurveda, one should never combine milk and fruits. So at home, we follow this rule and eat fruit-milk combinations (like fruit-based ice creams, shakes, fruit custard, etc) on special occasions only. 
• But Ayurveda mentions that the combination of milk and mango (ripe, sweet ones only) is beneficial to your body. 
• Mango is the exception (plus a few others such as avocado, and dry fruits like figs, dates, and raisins) that can be combined with milk. 
• Benefits of combining milk and ripe mangoes – increases calcium, iron, and weight. So this mango shake is perfect for growing kids.
