Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Wash and carefully peel the ripe mangoes, removing all skin and cutting the flesh away from the large central seed.

- Place the chopped mango pieces into a high-powered blender or smoothie maker.
- Add the cold milk directly into the blender with the mango chunks.
- Measure and add the sugar or preferred sweetener to the blender, ensuring even distribution.
- Pour in the vanilla extract, which will enhance the overall flavor profile of the milkshake.
- Add 4-5 ice cubes to create a chilled and frothy texture.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Blend for an additional 15-20 seconds to achieve a perfectly smooth consistency.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or sweetener.

- Optional: Garnish with a small mango slice or mint leaf for presentation.
- Serve immediately while cold and enjoy the refreshing tropical flavor.
Tips
- Choose Perfectly Ripe Mangoes: Select mangoes that are slightly soft when gently squeezed and have a sweet, fragrant aroma. Overripe mangoes will make your milkshake too mushy, while underripe ones will lack sweetness.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the most refreshing result, use cold milk and refrigerated mangoes. This helps create a thicker, more frothy texture.
- Blending Technique: Blend in short pulses first to break down the mango chunks, then blend continuously for a smoother consistency.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Start with the recommended sugar amount, but taste and adjust. Different mango varieties have varying natural sweetness.
- Ice is Nice: Use just enough ice to chill the drink without diluting the rich mango flavor. 4-5 cubes are usually perfect.
- Presentation Matters: Serve in a chilled glass and garnish with a fresh mango slice or a mint leaf to make your milkshake Instagram-worthy!
