Ingredients
- 6 cups Sweet Ripe Mangoes peeled and chopped, stone removed
- 2-3 cups Water increase or decrease the amount as per consistency you like
- Few ice cubes
- Fresh Mint for garnish
Instructions
- Wash the mangoes, dry them using clean kitchen towel and peel the skin using a sharp knife or a peeler.
- Dice the mangoes, scrape all the flesh from ( both sides of the stone)the fruit and discard the stone.
- Transfer the diced mangoes to a blender along with few ice-cubes and water. *Here, you may add sugar or your choice of sweetener if you like. Personally, I prefer my mango fruit juice without added sugar or sweetener, hence skipped.
- Blend until smooth (you can chill the juice in the refrigerator for an hour or two).
- Pour the juice in serving glasses, you can top it with some chopped nuts, or simply garnish with fresh mint, served chilled!
Notes
- Mangoes: Use sweet and ripe mangoes that have a nice juicy pulp; avoid using sour/unripe and fibrous mangoes for this juice recipe. I have used Indian Alphonso mangoes, you can use Kesar, or Ataulfo variety, frozen mangoes or even canned pulp to make this juice.
- Soaking: To reduce the heating properties of mangoes, I would recommend you to soak them in water in a large bowl for an hour or two before using.
- Sweeteners: Your mangoes aren't sweet enough? Feel free to add sweetener of choice like white sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, agave, a simple syrup or even honey for a sweeter nectar.
- Juice Consistency: The addition of water depends on the consistency of juice you need, so, add or reduce the amount as you like.
- Chilled Juice: Either refrigerate the mango fruit before blending, or add few ice cubes while blending, or chill the juice for 1-2 hours before serving.
- Straining: For smoother juice, you have a freedom to strain it using a fine mesh- strainer or a sieve to remove fibre if any. Using a good high speed blender helps skipping the straining process.
- A little squeeze of lime or lemon juice adds freshness.
- You can add orange juice, carrot juice, cranberry juice, or strawberry juice, pineapple juice or tender coconut water instead of water.
- Feel free to add a pinch of spices like ground cardamom, saffron, ground ginger and even a small amount of fresh ginger ( while blending).
- Adding few drops of rosewater provides floral note to the juice making it more tasty and fresh.
- Serving this juice with a tablespoon of chia seeds or soaked basil seeds (sabja seeds) for added fiber is a great idea.
