In India, mangoes hold a special place in the culinary traditions and cherished for their distinct taste and aroma. Mangoes are known as the “king of fruit” and their sweet and tropical flavour makes them a popular choice for various desserts and beverages. One such delightful treat is the mango milkshake. Blending the creamy goodness of milk with the lusciousness of ripe mangoes in a milkshake is a delightful fusion of flavours and textures, creating a beverage that is both creamy and refreshing. This refreshing drink is perfect for hot summer days.
Mango milkshake not only fills your hungry tummy, but also soothes you, satisfies your sweet tooth & cools you down on a hot summer day. Mango milkshake is a refreshing drink that could be made in minutes and this mango milkshake is a true crowd- pleaser. The rich smooth texture and tantalizing aroma of mangoes make this milkshake a delightful choice for people of all ages.
This delightful concoction not only quenches thirst but also provides essential nutrients and vitamins. Mangoes are rich source of vitamins such as Vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E and various B vitamins. These vitamins play a vital role in boosting immunity, promoting healthy skin and supporting overall well-being. Additionally, mangoes contain minerals like potassium and magnesium, which are crucial for maintaining proper bodily functions. Mangoes are loaded with antioxidants like beta-carotene and phenolic compounds, which help fight against harmful free radicals in the body. Antioxidants play a crucial role in reducing the risk of chronic diseases and protecting cells from damage. Mangoes are a good source of dietary fiber, which aids digestion, prevents constipation and promotes a healthy gut. Mango milkshake provides hydration due to its high-water content, making it an ideal choice during summer days or after physical activity.
The versatility of mango milkshake allows for endless possibilities, making it suitable for vegans, those with dietary restrictions and anyone looking to enjoy a taste of summer. You can easily swap milk for any vegan milk like soya milk, coconut milk, almond milk and cashew milk.
Ingredients for mango milkshake:
- Mangoes: most important ingredient for mango milkshake is, of course mangoes. It is crucial to choose fully ripe and sweet mangoes with a vibrant colour and sweet aroma for the milkshake. This will ensure a rich and flavorful milkshake. The ideal choice for this recipe is alphonso mangoes as they provide best colour and flavour. However, you can use any type of mangoes. If you opt for fibrous varieties, its best to strain the mango pulp before blending it with milk to ensure smooth consistency. Avoid using semi-sweet, sour or raw mango with milk as they can cause the milk to curdle.
- Milk: Milk is another essential component of a mango milkshake. I have used full fat milk but you can use any type of milk you prefer, such as skim milk, toned milk or fat-free milk, they all work well. If using fresh milk, it is advisable to boil and chill it before incorporating it into the recipe for those following vegan diet, non-dairy milk alternatives like soya milk, coconut milk, almond milk and cashew milk can be used. It’s preferable to use chilled milk instead of ice cubes to maintain the creamy texture.
- Sweetener: to sweeten your mango milkshake, you have various options. Sugar syrup is recommended as it not only adds sweetness but also imparts a shine to the shake. However, you can also use honey or maple syrup or agave syrup as alternatives. Keep in mind that using ingredients like dates, jaggery, palm sugar, brown sugar or jaggery sugar may alter the flavour and colour of your milkshake. If you enjoy these flavours, feel free to experiment with them.
- Garnish: Top your mango milkshake with heavy cream or whipping cream, along with some sliced pistachio.
Tips for Mango Milkshake:
- Always use fully ripe and sweet mango for best result.
- Adjust quantity of sweetener based on the natural sweetness of the mangoes you are using.
- When mangoes are not in season you can use canned mangoes as substitute.
- You can use ice cream in your shake to make it even creamier and more indulgent.
- If you are using fibrous mangoes, remember to strain the mango pulp and then blend it with milk.
- Chill the mangoes in the fridge for couple of hours before using in the recipe. This eliminates the need for ice cubes and maintains the desired creamy texture. You can freeze the mangoes to get a thick consistency shake.
- Additionally, using sugar syrup instead of granulated sugar adds a glossy finish to your shake.
