Yoo-hoo. It’s summer again, and in my household, this is a time for eating fruits and drinking their juices. On that note, I present my go to mango juice. It is one of the juices we have enjoyed the past couple of weeks, and I can’t wait to share how delightful it is with you.

Now, there are a million and one ways of enjoying mangoes, and this mango juice is just one of them. What a delightful, refreshing and nourishing juice this is…made with all-natural products and nothing more.

Believe me when I say that this mango juice doesn’t require the addition of refined sugars. Now, how cool is that? I substitute a fraction of the water with freshly squeezed orange juice and voilà… a healthier mango juice is born.

The problem with store-bought juices is that they go through the pasteurization process which destroys the vitamins naturally available in the fruits.

Also, they have loads of refined sugars which are the cause of many diseases. For these reasons, we cut down the consumption of store-bought fruit juices in my household.

Health Benefits of this Mango Juice

We love snacking on mangoes because they are so sweet and delicious.

Furthermore, they are full of vitamins and minerals and have an outstanding amount of antioxidants and fiber.

Most noteworthy is the Vitamin B6 which is essential for maintaining and improving brain health.

This juice is also loaded with Vitamin C from the freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice.

Ingredients for the Mango Juice

This juice recipe requires only five ingredients and takes less than ten minutes to prepare.

I use ripe mangoes, freshly squeezed orange, lemon juice and water as a base for this mango juice.

Depending on my mood, I might add cinnamon or ginger to give it a different kind of touch. I like adding cinnamon to my sweet drink because it regulates blood sugar levels due to its anti-diabetic effect.

How to make sugar-free Mango Juice

I start by peeling my mangoes with a potato peeler or a knife.
I then separate the mango flesh from the seed, and I end up with about 5 cups of mango flesh.
Using a lemon squeezer, I juice my oranges and lemon, which yield about 500 ml of juice.
Lastly, I add water, orange and lemon juices and the mango flesh in a blender and blend.

How to store your Mango Juice

This mango juice stores in the fridge for up to 4 days, but it’s so good it won’t need to last that long.

To freeze, pour in a freezer-suitable air-tight container and freeze for upto 3 months. Fill the container only 3/4 full since liquid expands when frozen.

To thaw, leave in the fridge overnight or on the kichen counter for a couple of hours. Shake well before serving.

Tips

Make sure that your mangoes are ripe if you want a sweet and creamy mango juice.
You will know your mangoes are ripe enough if they feel a little soft when pressed and smell fruity.
