How to make the ultimate mango smoothie


I have been inundated with requests on how to make the ultimate mango milkshake. For sweetness use the ripest ones available.  First you need to remove the skin and large seed from the fruit.  Then you slice up the mango as the following YouTube video suggests. 

Add at least one large mango or two small mangoes for each glass of milkshake.  Pour the sliced mangoes into the blender.  Add about a half cup of milk (your choice of milk) per serving.  Add 4  ice cubes per serving.  Add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon (more or less depending upon your taste), 1/4 teaspoon of real vanella bean extract.  Add a scoop of protein powder.  Add a dash of nutmeg.  Blend for about thirty seconds.
You may also make a fruit smoothie without the milk.  Just substitute a half cup of fruit juice of your choice. (orange, cranberry, grape work nicely .)  Enjoy!  This nutritious drink is packed with vitamin A, C, K, and fiber.  You also may add a banana, strawberries, blueberries to cut the flavor of the mango if you so desire.
Next time you have a craving for ice cream, cake, or a high carb snack like potato chips, make a shake instead.  It will satisfy your sweet tooth craving.  The shake is very filling as well. Thank you for stopping by my blog and  see you again soon!

  3. We call that mango as 'apple mango' because it looks like one. However, it is not eaten here when ripe, that is because we have more delicious varieties than that one. We have 'pico' and 'Carabao' mango. The latter is the best and is our famous export mango. In commerce it is 'Manila super mango'. But i love how you do your shakes!
