Mango and coconut are a natural pair in warm-climate kitchens, and this smoothie keeps it simple. Frozen mango chunks make the drink cold and thick without ice, light coconut milk makes it creamy, and the citrus keeps it from tasting flat. It happens to be dairy-free and vegan. Use ripe, sweet mango and you will not need any added sugar.
Instructions
- Shake or stir the coconut milk until the cream and liquid are fully mixed, then measure it out.
- Pour the coconut milk, orange juice and lime juice into the blender, then add the frozen mango.
- Blend on low for 20 seconds to break up the chunks, then on high for 60 seconds, scraping down the sides once, until no frozen pieces remain.
- Taste. Ripe mango is usually sweet enough, but add the maple syrup if the mix is tart.
- If the smoothie is too thick to pour, add orange juice or cold water a spoonful at a time.
- Pour into two glasses, sprinkle with shredded coconut and serve right away.
Tips
- Fresh mango works too. Cut it up, freeze the pieces for 3 hours, or add 6 ice cubes to the blender instead.
- For a richer drink, use full-fat coconut milk and reduce the amount to 120 ml (1/2 cup), topping up with water.
Questions and answers
Can I use canned mango or mango pulp?
Yes. Use about 300 g (1 1/4 cups) of drained canned mango and add 6 ice cubes. Skip the maple syrup, because canned mango is usually packed in syrup.
