Equipment

  • High-powered blender Essential for creating a smooth, slushy texture
  • Sharp knife [Matalas na kutsilyo] For preparing the mangoes
  • Spoon (Kutsara) For scooping out mango flesh
  • Measuring cups For accurate ice and water measurements
  • Chilled serving glass For the optimal drinking experience

Ingredients
 

  • 3 ripe mangoes Hinog na mangga, flesh scooped out and roughly chopped
  • 2 cups crushed ice Durog na yelo
  • 1 cup cold water Malamig na tubig
  • 1 tablespoon honey Pulot - adjust to taste

Instructions
 

  • Begin by choosing mangoes that are very ripe. They should be soft to touch and have a sweet aroma.
  • Slice each mango lengthwise around the pit. Score the flesh in a crisscross pattern, then scoop it out with a spoon into your blender.
  • Add 2 cups of crushed ice to the blender, followed by 1 cup of cold water and 1 tablespoon of honey.
  • Blend everything on high speed for one minute until completely smooth and slushy.
  • Pour immediately into a chilled 16-ounce glass and serve right away.
  • If making ahead for later, store in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours, but know that the texture is best when enjoyed fresh. For an extra-cold drink, try freezing your serving glass for 10 minutes before pouring in your shake. This recipe serves one large portion or can be split into two smaller servings.

Tips from Lola's Kitchen

  • Always use Philippine mangoes (carabao mangoes) when possible for the best flavor
  • The riper the mango, the sweeter your shake will be
  • Chill your serving glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving
  • If mangoes aren't sweet enough, add honey gradually to taste
  • For maximum refreshment, use crushed ice rather than whole cubes
