Saffron Mango Shake

by 34 Comments

  What do I do? It’s the Mango season. 

I see Mangoes and my childhood nostalgia kicks in! Hot summer evenings! Sweaty and Tired us after playing the whole day during the summer break. Mom waiting with a chilled glass of Mango Shake. We run and reach. Grab our glasses. Empty it down in no time! 

 I make mango shake every year for my children and today I thought of putting it on the blog with a slight twist. I added saffron to it. That took the shake to another level.

Here is how I made it!

Kitchen Equipments Required

Chopping board, knife, blender and serving (8 ounce) glasses.

Ingredients 

Mangoes – 2 cups, washed & peeled and chopped fine. Use fully ripe and sweet variety. Make sure it is not sour at all.

Sugar – 1 to 2 tbsp, as per taste. Depends upon the sweetness of mango.

Saffron – a small pinch, soak in 1tbsp cold milk for 5 minutes.

Ice cubes – 1 cup

Milk – 1&1/2 cups. I used 2%.

Method

1. Take the blender. Add mango pieces, sugar and ice cubes to the blender. Blend it all to a fine pulp.

2. Add saffron with milk to the pulp. Blend again till milk and pulp blends well. 

3. Pour in the serving glasses and drink chilled. It’s done. The best and simplest recipe ever. 

Enjoy with family and friends!

    Hi ! Some feedback for you. 6 Alphonso Mangoes delivered this morning. I used 3 to make your shake and 3 to make some Sorbet.

    I ground the Saffron with 1/4 teaspoon of coarse sea salt, dissolved it in 100 ml of what we in the UK call full cream milk. The result = fantastic !!
    Thanks for the recipe.

    I used to live in Uganda with 5 mango trees in the garden. I used to make Mango shakes, the “Normal ” kind. Supermarket mango’s here in the UK sell really bad and unripe mango’s so I get mine delivered by post from an Asian importer, always just right and never more than 5 / 7 days old. Now to find that Iranian Saffron I got from Dubai ! Love your blog and some of the recipes. Keep well !

    I just brought home 5 lovely mangoes this morning. Two different varietals! I love mango and I’ll just have to make one of these shakes for my son when he gets home from school today. He’ll love it!
