How to make the
Mango smoothie?
Step 1) First, take two ripe mangoes, wash them thoroughly with water, and keep them aside.
Step 2) Cut the mango into slices and see that the mango is ripe and sweet enough.
Step 3) Then in a bowl extract the pulp from the mangoes and separate the stone from it.
Step 4) Take 4 to 5tablespoon of yogurt and keep it in a bowl. I have taken home prepared curd which is great in taste.
Step5) In a mixer blender add the mango pulp, curd, and sugar as required.
Step 6) Add a few ice cubes and some mixture of dry fruits.
Here I have
used dry fruits like cranberries, almonds,pista, cashews, raisins,
and walnuts.
Firstly chop a
few Alphonso ripe mangoes, dry fruits, yogurt, and sugar as required and
blend it to a semi-paste. You can also add banana and milk which I
have omitted.
Secondly, blend
it properly with some ice cubes, coconut milk, almond milk,
or soya milk which makes the
smoothie vegan.
Thirdly, while
serving the vegan mango smoothie garnish it with a few chopped dry fruits,
saffron strands, and a scoop of mango ice cream.
Expert Tips and Advice
Use ripe mangoes- Here in my recipe I
did not get Alphonso mangoes which are very sweet so I
have used sinduri mango instead. But
always try to use the ripe and sweetest Alphonso mangoes so that your milk does
not curdle if you add milk to your recipe ,which I
have omitted. You can add less
sugar if you use ripe and sweet mangoes which makes the
smoothie more nutritious.
Use jaggery or
honey-In order to make your mango smoothie more nutritious and healthy add
jaggery or honey instead of sugar.
Boosting
nutrition –You can add chia seeds, flax seeds, etc to make
your mango smoothie more healthier
and nutritious.
Proper addition
of ice cubes- Add the proper quantity
of ice cubes for blending as too much use of it will make the smoothie very
thin. So adjust it properly to maintain the creamy smooth texture.
