Mango Juice Recipe

By sameeha 

The best homemade mango juice recipe uses organic Alphonso mangoes for a terrifically sweet, nectar-like drink. Follow our step-by-step instructions with photos to learn how to make a delicious juice that’s perfect for enjoying by the glassful or including in any number of juice-based beverage recipes.

While you can make a refreshing glass of mango juice with other mangoes, if you have alphonso available I highly recommend that you use them.

Mangoes are nutrient rich, so obviously it is good to include them in your diet. They are also a rich source of Vitamin A, C and dietary fibre. 

Here I share with you my easy mango juice recipe and tips to prepare the best, most refreshing mango juice from scratch. It’s great to make on a hot day, and perfect to enjoy as it is or with your favorite snacks!

How to make Mango Juice

Peel and chop mangoes

1. First, rinse the mangoes very well under clean water. Dry them with a clean kitchen towel. Use a sharp knife or peeler to peel the skins.

Start at the bottom of each mango, and slice upwards towards the more narrow end to remove the skin, keeping as much of the flesh intact as possible.

 TIP: To reduce the heating qualities of mangoes, soak them in water in a bowl or pan for a couple of hours.

2. Next, chop the mangoes and discard the stone. To separate the flesh from the center pit, first slice large chunks off on both sides of the stone.

Scrape or slice through the remaining flesh and place them on the chopping board. Chop these slices and scrapings into small pieces, like in the photo below.

3. Transfer the chopped mangoes to a blender. 

4. Blend until smooth. Add a splash of water or milk (dairy or plant-based) to thin out slightly into a flowing runny juice, if you like.

You can add a few ice cubes to make into an icy smoothie-like mango juice. Personally, I like my mango juice without anything added for the richest, creamiest and pulpy drink.

5. Serve the fresh juice immediately, or you can chill in the refrigerator. Feel free to garnish with your favorite juice or smoothie toppings, like chopped nuts, fresh berries, herbs or seeds.
