Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen mango chunks preferably peeled and frozen in bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed for best flavor
  • 8 leaves fresh mint plus extra for garnish if desired
  • 1 cup ice cubes or more if needed to thicken

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the frozen mango chunks to your blender bowl. They should be slightly frosty and fragrant with tropical aroma.
  2. Pour in the lime juice over the mango, giving the mixture a bright, citrusy scent.
  3. Add the fresh mint leaves to the blender, gently bruising them if desired to release more aroma.
  4. Toss in the ice cubes, which will help create a super icy, slushie texture. Secure the lid on the blender.
  5. Blend the mixture on high speed, listening for a gentle whirling sound. Blend until the ice is finely crushed and the mixture looks thick and icy, about 30-45 seconds.
  6. Stop the blender and carefully open the lid. Check the consistency; if it's too watery, add a few more ice cubes and blend briefly again.
  7. Pour the slushie into chilled glasses, letting the icy mixture gently settle and fill the cup with a vibrant orange hue and specks of green from the mint.
  8. Garnish with extra mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy its icy, fruity brightness.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of coconut water or a sprinkle of chili powder for a spicy kick. Adjust the ice to achieve your preferred slushie consistency. Using very ripe mangoes will yield the sweetest, most flavorful results.
