  • 1 teaspoon lime juice optional, for brightness
  • to taste sugar or honey optional, for extra sweetness

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Start by peeling and chopping your ripe mango into small chunks, making it easier to blend smoothly.
  2. Add the mango chunks to your blender along with the ice cubes, creating a vibrant, icy mixture.
  3. Pour in water or coconut water to help the blades blend everything smoothly, if needed.
  4. Squeeze in a teaspoon of lime juice to brighten the flavors and add a hint of tang.
  5. If you like your slushie sweeter, sprinkle in a little sugar or honey, then secure the lid and blend on high speed.
  6. Blend until the mixture is thick, frosty, and has a smooth, slightly granular texture from the crushed ice — listen for the icy crunch!
  7. Pour the icy mango mixture into glasses, watching the bright orange color settle into a rich, frosty layer.
  8. If desired, garnish with a small slice of mango or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness.
  9. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the refreshing, crunchy texture and tropical flavor of your mango slushie.
