What is a Milkshake?
A milkshake is a cold sweet drink made of milk, any choice of your fruit, and sometimes ice cream blended together until it becomes frothy. It can also be made using almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk to make it vegan. Tastes delicious when served cold.
Milkshake is similar to a smoothie. However smoothies can be made with milk, yogurt and/or ice-cream.
Ingredients You'll Need
- Mango: You can use fresh, frozen, or canned mango pulp in this recipe. If available, Alphonso mangoes are the best and most sweet to make milkshake. However, it is totally fine to use other varieties of mangoes. In the US, I have been using Ataulfo mangoes. Look for very ripe mangoes. If using mango pulp, use 1 cup in place of the mango chunks in this recipe.
- Milk: Adding milk will give the right consistency to this mango milkshake. You can use your favorite whole, low-fat, or 2% milk. Almond milk can be used to make this vegan.
- Sweetener: Sugar is used to sweeten mango milkshake, however, you can use honey or agave too.
- Spices: Optionally add cardamom powder to the milkshake.
Now the easiest part to make the milkshake.

Tips to make the Best Mango Milkshake
- Mangoes: Use sweet ripe mangoes to make milkshakes. They will give the best tasting Mango milkshake. If fresh is not available, then only opt for canned mango pulp.
- Refrigerate: If you are planning ahead, put the mango in the refrigerator so they are cold. You can also chop and freeze the mangoes. You can add a few ice cubes to this to cool it down even more.
- Milk: I prefer to use whole milk when making milkshakes. But feel free to substitute with your favorite - 2%, 1%, non-fat or almond milk.
Variations
Mango Milkshake with ice-cream: This thick milk shake with ice-cream also known as mango mastani is made with mangoes, milk, vanilla ice-cream, and pistachios for garnish.

Mango Milkshake without Sugar: You can skip sugar if the mangoes you are using are sweet. You can use honey, maple or agave in this recipe for sweetness too.
