I love making fresh juices at home, especially mango juice when it’s in season. It’s quick, effortless, and always better than the sugar-loaded store-bought versions.

This is the perfect recipe to enjoy mangoes, especially for those who prefer drinking juice over eating the whole fruit(try this mango cucumber salad). Plus, it preserves the mango’s texture, taste, and flavor.

This juice tastes deliciously tropical, with natural sweetness perfect for hot days or backyard grilling parties. With its rich, golden color and incredibly satisfying taste, every sip feels like a treat!

Why You'll Love This Recipe

⭐️A quick and effortless homemade recipe.

⭐️Enjoy the rich, natural taste and flavors of mangoes.

⭐️A family-friendly drink for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • Mango: Choose a mango variety with a soft texture that is good for juicing, such as Atalfo or Kent, as they tend to be sweeter and juicier. 
  • Honey: Optional. If the mangoes are naturally sweet or you prefer their natural flavor, you don’t need to add any sweetener. However, if they are slightly tangy or not sweet enough, add honey for a well-balanced taste. You can substitute with maple syrup, agave nectar, or simple syrup.
  • Water: Mangoes have thick, fibrous flesh, which can result in a smoothie-like consistency when blended. You can add water to thin the consistency and make it lighter, smoother, and more enjoyable to drink. You can substitute this with coconut water, dairy-free milk, or orange juice.
  • Garnishing: Serve mango juice by adding fresh mango cubes or mint leaves. For a spicy kick, try dusting Tajin or chili lime seasoning over the glass rim.

How To Make Mango Juice

  • Peel the mango, remove the pit by slicing around it, then chop the flesh into small chunks for easy blending.
  • Add chopped mango chunks and ½ cup of water to the blender jar.
  • Blend until the mixture turns smooth and creamy.
  • Next, stir in honey and cold water, if needed.
  • And blend again to combine everything.
  • Once ready, pour the juice into glasses over ice cubes for a refreshing chill.
  • Garnish with a mango slice or fresh mint leaves, and enjoy your delicious homemade mango juice!

Pro Tips For Best Results

If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibers.

The Leftovers

Use the leftover mango juice to make a smoothie, a salad dressing, or sauce base(try this spicy mango sauce). You can also mix with lemonade or sparkling water.

This mango juice is best enjoyed as fresh. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one day;or frozen for up to three months.

To use frozen juice, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight—no reheating is necessary. Serve it chilled for the best taste.

FAQ

Can you juice the mango skin?

I wouldn’t recommend it. Mango skin is thicker and bitter. For the best taste, always peel before juicing!

Can I use frozen mangoes instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen mangoes. You can blend them directly from frozen if you have a heavy-duty blender. Adding water or milk can help improve the consistency.

What mangoes are best for juicing?

The best mangoes for juice are ripe, sweet varieties like Haden, Ataulfo, or Kent. Other mango varieties also work well, but make sure they are ripe and soft for the best flavor and texture.
