Mangoes & Summers

There’s something about mangoes that just makes summer worth it. Honestly, I wait all year for that first bite of a perfectly ripe mango—and the best part? Turning it into a thick, chilled milkshake that tastes like sunshine in a glass.

This mango milkshake is super simple, naturally sweetened with honey, and that pinch of cinnamon gives it a little twist that makes you pause and go “mmm.”

Benefits of Mango

Mangoes are rich in Vitamin C and A, and are great for digestion, immunity, and skin health. Plus, they give that natural sweetness and velvety texture that’s perfect for blending into milkshakes.

What Goes Into the Blender

• Mango – Ripe, juicy mango adds creamy texture and a bright tropical sweetness that’s naturally refreshing.
• Honey – Natural sweetener that balances the mango’s tang and gives a smoother finish.
• Cinnamon Powder – Just a pinch brings warmth and enhances the sweetness, without overpowering.
• Vanilla Essence – Rounds out the flavors and makes the milkshake taste like dessert.
• Chilled Milk – Keeps everything cool and smooth; use full-fat for richness or oat/almond milk for a dairy-free version.

🌿 Vegan Swap – use almond milk + maple syrup instead of honey.

The Process

Start by peeling and chopping a ripe mango—it should be slightly soft to the touch and fragrant. Pop the pieces into your blender jar. Add in a little honey, a pinch of cinnamon, a splash of vanilla essence, and chilled milk. Blend until it’s creamy and lump-free.

💡 Pro Tip: Always use chilled ingredients to skip the need for ice cubes (which can dilute the flavor).

Once it’s blended, pour it into a tall glass with a few ice cubes. You can top it with some extra mango cubes, crushed pistachios, or even a dash more cinnamon if you like things spiced.

How to Serve

Serve it cold in a tall glass with a wide straw or a spoon—because it’s that thick and creamy! Pair it with a bowl of soaked almonds or a slice of toast for a filling breakfast.
