Equipment

1 Blender

Ingredients

3 mangos about 400 g mango chunks, 2 cups chopped, 1½ cup puree
1½ cups water Can add additional ½ cup at a time if you want a thinner consistency
1 lemon about 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
2-3 tbsp sugar optional, adjust to your preference and according to sweetness of mango

Instructions

Place mango pieces and two tablespoons of lemon juice in a blender jar or food processor (I use a Nutribullet). Blend into a smooth puree.
Add lemon juice and water. Blend again.
Taste and see if you would like to add sweetener. If needed, add and blend again. Mango juice is ready! Pour into serving glasses or a pitcher.

Notes

If you want a thinner juice, just add ½ cup of water at a time until you reached your desired consistency. Note, the more water you add to dilute it the more sugar you will need since the sweetness of the mango diminishes in flavor.

ff you happen to have mangos with a lot of fiber, I’d recommend either skipping making juice from it or trying running the pulp through a sieve to remove some of the pulp.

Refrigeration: Mango juice should be stored in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator and consumed within 3-4 days to ensure freshness.

Orange juice - Adding orange juice is a way to reduce the amount of added sugar.

Lemon juice - Highly recommend, brightens the juice.
