Ingredient Notes

  • Mangoes: 
  • Fresh: Always use ripe, sweet mangoes for mango shake. Avoid slightly unripe or sour ones—they don’t pair well with milk.
  • In India, Alphonso (hapus) is ideal, followed by Kesar. You can even mix the two.
  • Here in the USA, Ataulfo mango (Mexican variety) is a great option.
  • Frozen: Works fine. You can also freeze your own chopped ripe mangoes for later use.
  • Canned pulp: Use only if you can’t find fresh or frozen mango. It’s a backup option. 
  • Milk: 
  • Dairy: Use full-fat whole milk for the best creamy texture. Low-fat or skim milk also works but will be less rich.
  • Non-dairy: For a vegan version, use almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or soy milk.. 
  • Sugar: Even if the mangoes are very sweet, a small amount of sugar balances the flavor perfectly.

Expert Tips

  • Use chilled mangoes and milk for an instantly cold 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 sweetness depending on your mango variety.
  • Ice cream version: Add 1 scoop of vanilla or mango ice cream for a dessert-style milkshake. Reduce sugar if doing so.

Storage

  • 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. 
  • However, ripe, sweet mangoes are an exception (plus a few others such as avocado, and dry fruits like figs, dates, and raisins) that can be combined with milk. Mango + milk is considered a beneficial combo.
  • Benefits of combining milk and ripe mangoes – increases calcium, iron, and weight. So this mango shake is perfect for growing kids or those who need energy-rich snacks.
