4 Delicious Ways to Enjoy Mangoes This Season

Mango season is here, and it’s the perfect time to enjoy this sweet and juicy fruit. There are so many ways to eat mangoes, but we are going to talk about four simple and tasty ways. You can enjoy mangoes by simply peeling and cutting them in cubes. But if you want something cold and creamy these ideas will make you love mangoes even more.

Benefits of Mangoes (According to Health line)

Mangoes are not just tasty; they are also packed with nutrients that are good for your health. Here are some benefits:
Protects skin from sun damage – The antioxidants in mangoes help reduce the effects of the sun on your skin, preventing wrinkles and dark spots.
Boosts collagen production – Mangoes have a lot of vitamin C, which helps your skin stay firm and youthful.
May help prevent acne – Since mangoes are rich in vitamin A, they can help prevent clogged pores and breakouts.
Slows down aging – Vitamins C and E in mangoes work together to keep your skin healthy and prevent early signs of aging.
May lower the risk of skin cancer – Mangoes contain a special antioxidant called mangiferin, which may help protect against skin cancer.

Here are the four ways to enjoy mangoes:

Mango Sorbet
Mango sorbet is an easy and healthy way to enjoy mangoes, especially on a hot day. It’s creamy like ice cream but without any dairy or added sugar. Here’s how to make it:

Peel and cut ripe mangoes into small pieces.
Freeze them for a few hours.
Blend the frozen mango pieces until smooth. Make sure your blender is a heavy-duty one. I do not trust my blender to make a smooth sorbet so I often use my meat grinder to blend and it works fine.
Serve immediately or store in the freezer for later.

You can try this method for other fruits like banana.

Mango Smoothie
A mango smoothie is another creamy and refreshing way to enjoy mangoes. You can make it as simple or as fancy as you like. Here’s an easy recipe:

Cut one or two ripe mangoes into cubes.
Add them to a blender with a cup of milk or yogurt.
Add honey if you want extra sweetness.
Throw in some ice cubes and blend until smooth.

You can also mix mangoes with other fruits like bananas, or strawberries. Some people (like me) even add ginger to make it spicy a bit. If you don’t want dairy, you can use coconut or almond milk instead.

Mango Juice

Mango juice is a refreshing way to enjoy the fruit, and I don’t think it matters the weather. It’s naturally sweet and doesn’t need much added sugar. Here’s how to make it:

Peel and chop ripe mangoes into pieces.
Blend with some water until smooth.
Strain the juice to remove any fibers (optional).
Add a squeeze of lemon or lime (optional).
Chill in the fridge or serve over ice.

If you want to get creative, you can mix mango juice with orange juice or even a little ginger.

Ghanaian-Style Mango Ice Cream/ Abelewalls
In Ghana, Mango abelewalls (popsicle) is a favorite treat enjoyed by both kids and adults. Here’s how to make it:

Chop ripe mangoes into small pieces.
Add evaporated milk, powdered milk, and condensed milk (it is not mandatory to add all three).
Add vanilla flavour (use any flavour of your choice or simply omit it)
Blend everything together until smooth and thick (depending on the consistency you like).
Pour the mixture into small ice cream cups or use the small sized disposable cups.
Insert ice cream sticks into each cup.
Freeze for a few hours or overnight until solid.

Once frozen, you can enjoy your homemade mango abelewalls.

Whether you like it as a sorbet, smoothie, juice, or ice cream, there’s a way for everyone to enjoy mangoes. These four recipes are simple and easy to make at home. Try them out and see which one you like best.
