Mango season is almost coming to a close as Neelam variety of Mango has now landed in the markets . It is said that when the Neelam variety Mango shows up,it means the Mango season is almost over .
Summer is the time to rejoice delicious and juicy mangoes and jackfruit along with the other seasonal summer fruits.
Mango is a fruit loved by one and all and there will hardly be any haters for Mango. In the recent years , I am seeing a surge in restaurants hosting a Mango Meal special with a wide menu of 18 to 20 items made from ripe mango as well as raw mangoes .
Vegan Mango shake was on my mind ever since I made the Mango coconut Barfi in the microwave, and it became a super hit with my friends and family .
This year, I was determined to make and blog this vegan Mango shake before the season ends . As always, I have used the Aaapus variety but Badami or Imampasand variety also give a nice taste.
Store bought coconut milk can be used or home pressed fresh coconut milk. You can add sugar based on the sweetness from the mango . Most of the times, sugar isn't needed as the Alphonso or Badami mangoes are very sweet.
Adding a pinch of cardamom powder and saffron strands is my personal liking as it gives a nice refreshing taste to the mango shake .

Such a refreshing and healthy mango shake to enjoy during the hot season. I don't get really nice mango here, but we get tempted to buy the Mexican variety. So whenever the mango is not sweet it goes into a salad or a milkshake. For a change I tried with coconut milk and it has that typical tropical flavour. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! thick lucious mango shake, I love it. Since the mangoes here dont have the strength of indian mangoes the coconut milk add a nice flavour to it.
ReplyDeleteAhhh the yummy mango shake but vegan! Absolutely love mangoes and I eat them a lot. We have some variety of mangoes right now in the basket I don't know it's name but a shake is happening today. Simple and easy to make and enjoy.
