Equipment

  • 1 High-speed blender
  • 1 Sharp Kitchen Knife
  • 1 Chopping Board
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons –
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Measuring Jug –
  • Six Serving Glasses
  • 1 Ice Tray Or Ice Scoop

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Ripe Mango Chunks - Approximately 495 g
  • 3 Cups Plain Natural Yoghurt - Approximately 720 g
  • 1½ Cups Cold Milk - 360 ml
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey - Optional
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice - Optional
  • 1 Cup Ice Cubes - Optional
  • 2–3 Fresh Mint Leaves - Optional

Instructions
 

Step 1: Choose And Prepare The Mangoes

  • - Select ripe mangoes that smell sweet and yield slightly when gently pressed.
  • - Wash the fruit thoroughly under clean running water before peeling.
  • - Cut the flesh away from the stones and dice it into small chunks.
  • - Measure three cups of mango flesh, ensuring that no pieces of skin or hard stone remain.
  • For the most flavourful Mango Yoghurt Drink, avoid underripe mangoes, which can taste sour and produce a less fragrant result. If your mangoes are naturally sweet, you may not need additional sweetener.

Step 2: Add The Yoghurt And Milk

  • - Place the mango chunks in the blender.
  • - Add three cups of natural yoghurt and one cup of cold milk.
  • - Reserve the remaining half-cup of milk to adjust the consistency later.
  • - Add the lime juice if you prefer a slightly tangy finish.
  • Starting with less milk gives you greater control over the thickness, particularly when using Greek yoghurt or very juicy mangoes.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

  • - Secure the blender lid firmly.
  • - Blend on a low setting for approximately 10–15 seconds to break down the fruit.
  • - Increase the speed and blend for another 30–60 seconds, or until the mixture looks smooth and evenly coloured.
  • - Stop the blender before scraping down the sides if any mango pieces remain.
  • - Blend briefly again if necessary.
  • Avoid blending longer than necessary. Once the mango is fully incorporated and the yoghurt is smooth, your Mango Yoghurt Drink is almost ready.

Step 4: Taste And Adjust The Flavour

  • - Taste the blended mixture with a clean spoon.
  • - If the mango is naturally sweet, leave out the honey.
  • - If needed, add one tablespoon of honey, blend briefly and taste again.
  • - Add the remaining milk gradually if the drink is too thick.
  • - If the flavour is overly sweet, add a little lime juice and blend for a few seconds.
  • Adjust the ingredients gradually to achieve a balanced drink that is neither excessively sweet nor too tart.

Step 5: Chill The Drink

  • - For an immediately refreshing drink, add a few ice cubes and blend briefly.
  • - Alternatively, transfer the drink to a covered jug and refrigerate until cold.
  • - For a rich, thick texture, chill the mangoes and yoghurt before blending instead of adding extra ice.
  • If preparing the drink ahead of time, keep it refrigerated until you are ready to serve.

Step 6: Pour, Garnish And Serve

  • - Stir the drink gently if it has stood for a few minutes.
  • - Pour evenly into six small glasses.
  • - Garnish with a small mint leaf or a few finely diced mango pieces, if desired.
  • - Serve immediately while cold and creamy.

Notes

  • 🥭 Choose Ripe Mangoes: Use sweet, juicy mangoes for the best flavour and natural sweetness.
  • 🥛 Use Plain Natural Yoghurt: Unsweetened yoghurt provides a creamy texture and balances the mango's sweetness.
  • 🍯 Adjust the Sweetness: Taste before adding honey, as ripe mangoes may be sweet enough on their own.
  • 🌀 Blend Until Smooth: Blend thoroughly for a silky, lump-free drink.
  • 🧊 Serve Chilled: Refrigerate the ingredients before blending or add a few ice cubes for extra refreshment.
  • 🥛 Adjust the Consistency: Add milk gradually for a thinner drink or extra yoghurt for a thicker texture.
  • 🍋 Add Lime Juice (Optional): A little fresh lime juice enhances the fruity flavour.
  • 🌿 Garnish Before Serving: Decorate with fresh mint leaves or diced mango for an attractive finish.
  • ❄️ Store Safely: Keep leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator at 4°C or below and consume within 24 hours for the best quality.
  • 🌱 Make It Dairy-Free: Substitute the dairy yoghurt and milk with suitable unsweetened plant-based alternatives.
  • ⚠️ Avoid Honey For Babies Under 12 Months: Omit honey when preparing drinks for infants under one year.
  • 🥤 Best Enjoyed Fresh: For the smoothest texture and freshest mango flavour, serve immediately after blending.
