i learned something from watching tv shows :) freeze the mangoes first, already prepared, before including it in the shake. this allows for less ice, hence water, so that the shake will be thick, and super cold too. then i add corn syrup or sugar syrup to sweeten it up, admittedly, tons of it too.

Ihave probably not had a green mango shake in five years and then very recently an expat friend of mine ordered one and it looked so refreshing. Since then I have been on a green mango shake kick.. ordering them everywhere I go. Last weekend I ordered one at a club my family and I go to, and when the waiter brought it out my shake was a disgusting shade of yellow. When I asked what happened to my order for green mango he said, “Ay Mam, nahino na kasi!” I did not quite know how to react to that! Oviously! Now what I should of asked is if it got “nahinog” on the way to our table!

MM, have you tried making a chico smoothie? This one’s a favorite, but of course, I can munch about five chicos in one sitting. :-)

Hi MM! i’m very easy to please especially when it comes to smoothies, shakes, what-have-you’s. green mango shake definitely tops my list and its refreshing effect on me. maybe i should try using sugar syrup for all my shakes (i literally pour gran sugar!) and yeah, maybe check out the plum powder…i’m a BIG fan of champoy myself!

you get different green mango shakes in restos, some too watery some are too sweet or too sour, and it really is hard to get the right consistency and taste, you really have to practice doing it. . . it is not the same as most fruits that you could never get wrong if you make shakes or smoothies. . .

When eating in Filipino themed restaurants, my family would always have to order green mango shake. If it’s good, we go back often, if not, we just forget about the resto or come back after few months.
And also when my mom make this at home, she sometimes uses sugar substitute called stevia. I think she got it from a trip abroad.

Instead of syrup, try using condensed milk and ice with the sliced green mangoes. The shake will come out creamier and sweetened to you taste. I know coz I always get excellent results….

When we were kids, my sister and I would order the green mango shakes at restaurants; they’d come with a slice of a green mango (I suppose to remind you of what you were drinking) sitting on the lip of the glass. My sister always had the urge to order a side dish of bagoong so that we could eat our green mango slices properly. Of course that made us wonder what a green mango + bagoong shake would taste like. Ew.

Have you tried extracting the juice of the green mango with those fruit juice extractors (like the ones used on carrots)? Maybe with enough of the juice extracted, you could add it to a full green mango in the blender, intensifying the fruit flavor and add honey instead of the sugar for sweetening.
