Mango Juice Recipe

This mango juice recipe is an easy one to commit to memory. We add a little orange juice to this recipe (which gives the juice an amazing flavor), but if you prefer, you can omit the OJ and enjoy a pure mango juice diluted with just a bit of water.

• Mango – Fresh is best. It’s sweeter flavor that store-bought frozen mango.  
• Water – We need to add water to help blend the mango and thin it out so its not just a puree.
• Orange Juice – This is optional, but I love adding just a little OJ to my mango juice. It really adds to the flavor.

How to Make Mango Juice (With a Blender)

Mangoes don’t make a very good candidate to juice in a juicer. The flesh is too soft and has stringy fiber. Mango juice is a little thicker than most fruit juices, but the orange juice and water that we add thins it out considerably.

1. Cut Mango – Slice the fresh ripe mango flat side down along the seed. Make slices along the flesh. Using a spoon, scoop the flesh away from the peel.
2. Blend – Add the mango pieces, water and orange juice to the blender, and blend on high for 15-20 seconds until the juice is smooth.  If your juice still has a lot of fiber left after blending, you can strain it through a fine colander or strainer.  You can also add a little more water for a thinner consistency.
3. Serve – Pour over ice. Enjoy!

How Can You Tell When a Mango Is Ripe?

You want to use fresh mango for this recipe because it has a much richer and sweeter flavor than frozen mango.

A perfectly ripe mango will have a strong flowery fragrance, and will slightly yield when you gently squeeze it. The skin should have tones of yellow-orange or red which will increase as the fruit ripens. Avoid mangoes that have a loose or shriveled skin, or black spots on the skin which may indicate overripeness and damage to the flesh inside.

How Do You Cut a Mango?

Cutting a mango can be a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’ll become a breeze.

• Hold the fruit standing on one of its ends.
• Slice down one side of the pit vertically, then repeat on the other side. There will be flesh left around the pit.
• Using a paring knife, score the flesh of each half into cubes. You don’t want to slice all the way through the skin.
• Using a spoon, scoop along the inside of each half as close to the skin as you can to cut out all of the cubes. Alternately, you can turn each half inside out so the cubes pop outward, then cut away the cubes,
• Cut away the band of fruit around the pit and peel away the skin. Cut the flesh into pieces.

How to Store Mango Juice

Fresh mango juice will keep in a tightly sealed bottle or mason jar in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. You can also freeze the juice in ice cube trays, or blend the mango into a puree and freeze the puree in ice cube trays. Either way, you’ll want to transfer the frozen mango cubes to a freezer bag where they’ll keep for up to 6 months. These are really great to add to morning smoothies!
