Mango Juice or Nectar

[Pepper]

Somebody gave me some overripe julie mango.

7 of them, can't make them go to waste.

Looking for suggestions on how to turn them into a drink.

No, I don't want to cook them.

Re: Mango Juice or Nectar

get a small tub of plain yogut;
cut the mangos into strips;
blend the mangos together with the yogurt
then you get mango lassi
you can add cinnamon or nutmeg to it depending on your taste.
if you want it creamier/sweater add in some condensed milk. water it down with milk to taste and let it cool.
it's nice.

i didn't know you could cook ripe mangos. only the green ones.

You can add yogurt to it like SS said.

You can also:

add apple juice and the cut up mango and then put them in the blender.

if you dont want to do the apple juice, you can:

Water
honey (to taste) <--if i don't have honey i use a the equivalent of sugar
mango cut up

blend.

all are yummo! i do the second version, as we very rarely buy juice at the store.

Probably so. I am not a huge fan of cooked mango, no clue on the process.

Re: Mango Juice or Nectar

Mango Lassi is the perfect cooler on a hot day. You can add extra sweetness to it (if you like) with sugar or honey. If you're making it for kids and want to avoid the sugar, use unsweetened fruit juice or pulp. This recipe makes 4 glasses of lassi.

Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
3 glasses of yogurt (use a glass you will serve the lassi in, to measure)
1 glass of crushed ice (measure as above)
1 glass ripe mango pieces or pulp
Sugar to taste/unsweetened fruit juice or pulp
1 tsp slivered almonds for each glass
A dollop of thick cream for each glass (optional)
Preparation:
Put the yogurt, mango, ice and sugar/juice/pulp in a blender and blend till smooth.
Pour out into glasses, top with a dollop of cream each and slivered almonds and serve

a proper recipe you can follow

Looks like the water and honey option is still at the top of my list.

I mixed water, honey and nutmeg wid di mango. It needed more umph, so I threw in a little condensed milk.

Re: Mango Juice or Nectar

maybe you can puree the mangos in the blender with plain soy?
