As I began my blog in the summer season, which is also a season of mangoes, I would love to begin with a recipe which is of the same. That is Mango Milkshake.
Mangoes are known as a King of fruits and almost everyone likes it. Mango milkshake is a preferred drink during summers in India to quench the thirst and for recharging the body. For preparing this milkshake, we use mangoes that are more juicy and sweet instead of the ones that are fibrous. This is because such juicy mangoes are easier to peel. I prepared a milkshake using simple ingredients although it can be prepared in various variants. Here is the recipe of a simple mango milkshake without ice cream.
INGREDIENTS :
- 1 cup of mango slices.
- 2 cups of chilled skimmed milk (fat free)
- 4 teaspoon of sugar
- 2-4 small cubes of ice. (As I used chilled milk, I did not add it)
- We can use Green Cardamom / Elaichi powder and Saffron strands for flavour (optional). However I prepared a simple milkshake without it.
METHOD :
1) Peel the skin of the mangoes and chop the mangoes into small pieces. Put these pieces into a blender.
2) Add 4 teaspoon of sugar or as per the taste required to it. You can use honey and jaggery also for sweetening instead of sugar. You may use less quantity of any of these if the mangoes are already sweet.
3) Add one cup of skimmed milk to this. You can use soy milk, almond milk or any regular milk too. However, I chose skimmed milk so that our milkshake is low fat.
4) Then, blend this mixture in a blender until smooth for 10 seconds.
Then, add remaining milk and blend again until smooth. We use milk quantity as per requirement of thick or runny milkshake. Also we use chilled milk so that it does not curdle when we mix with mangoes.
5) Pour the milkshake into a serving glass.
6) Our mango milkshake is ready.
7) Garnish the milkshake with a piece of mango slice.
O, that looks so yummy. I am sure all my readers would love to prepare this milkshake.
