Mango Smoothie

Preparation Time-Less Than 30 min
No Cooking Required Cooking Time
Serves 2

Ingredients

    2 Indian Alphonso mangoes, in season from April (or use canned puréed mangoes)

    250-300ml/9-10½ fl oz cold milk

    1½-2 tbsp sugar, or to taste, according to the size and sweetness of the mangoes

    ice cubes, to serve

Preparation method

    Stand one of the mangoes upright with the narrow end facing you. Slice off the 'cheeks' on either side of the stone and slice these in half lengthwise.

    Cut around the stone to take off as much flesh as possible, capturing all the running juices in a bowl.

    Remove the skin by peeling or cutting the fruit carefully off it. Repeat with the other mango. Discard the skin and purée the flesh and juice in a food processor or blender.

    Add the milk and sugar and combine until it becomes a thick smooth mass. Chill until ready to drink. Add the ice cubes and serve straight from the fridge. A little goes a long way, so serve in small glasses.
