Jugo de mango con leche: Creamy Colombian Mango Shake

Jugo de mango con leche is undeniably one of the most consumed and universally loved beverages across the Colombian territory, particularly shining on the sunny Caribbean coast. This luscious, sweet shake perfectly captures the essence of ripe tropical fruit blended into a velvety, comforting drink that differs greatly from its tart green mango counterpart.

The secret to this ultra-refreshing 10-minute recipe is blending the fresh fruit pulp with water and sugar first to create a perfectly smooth nectar base. By lowering the blender speed before slowly streaming in the milk, you ensure a perfectly frothy, creamy texture without over-aerating the dairy.

Ingredients

  

• 8 Small ripe mangos
• 1 cup Water
• 3 cups Milk
• 4 Tablespoons sugar
• Ice optional

Instructions

 

• Wash and prep: Begin by thoroughly washing the mangos to remove any dirt or residue, a necessary step whether they are store-bought or freshly picked from a tree.
• Peel and extract: Peel the skin off the mangos and carefully slice the soft, ripe fruit pulp away from the large inner seed (pit). Discard the seeds.
• Blend the nectar base: Transfer the fresh mango pulp into a blender along with the water and sugar. Blend on high for about 1 minute until you achieve a smooth purée. If you prefer a colder, icy shake, you can add ice during this step.
• Incorporate the milk: Lower the blender's speed to a gentle mix and slowly stream in the milk. Let it blend for another 2 minutes until perfectly combined and frothy. You can serve it exactly as is, or pass it through a strainer first if you prefer a completely silky texture without any fruit fibers.

Notes

• Potent Antioxidants: Mangoes are rich in carotenoids, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), terpenoids, and polyphenols, all of which are recognized for their excellent anti-cancer properties.
• Holistic Health Benefits: Regular consumption of mango is known to aid in preventing heart disease, supporting weight loss, improving digestion, boosting visual acuity, maintaining brain health, and even assisting in asthma prevention.
• Nutritious Peels: While mostly the sweet pulp is consumed in juices, the outer skin of the mango also possesses numerous beneficial properties for the human body.
• Vitamin and Mineral Rich: This tropical fruit is an outstanding natural source of vitamins C, A, and E, alongside valuable flavonoids, beta-carotene, niacin, calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium.
