This creamy mango shake is the best summertime shake recipe. It’s made with using fresh Filipino mango, 5 ingredients, and the popular evaporated milk to give it the Filipino authentic taste. 
When I went to the Philippines, I ate so many mangos to the point where every time I ate a mango, I had a very bad stomach ache. Mangos from the Philippines are very good, to quote my sister “It’s like eating candy!” and it is. The mango is very sweet and the mangos in the states or even the imported mangos are not the same. So if you are ever in the Philippines, please stop by a grocery store or a restaurant and try the mangos! With the extra mangos that I had, I made a mango smoothie… I know, I know, the title of the recipe says mango shake, but I realized that mango shake has to include ice cream.. right?
Tips and Tricks for Making This Mango Shake Recipe:
- The best tip for having a delicious mango shake is choosing the right mangoes! When choosing, always look for the natural sweet smell of mangoes. More often than not, sweet-smelling mangoes are of course, sweeter and tastier.
- Taste the mangoes first (just a bit, don’t eat them all up 🙂 ) before mixing them in the blender. If the mangoes are sour, don’t use them as it would turn out into a sour mango shake. Even if you adjust the sugar content, still the sourness would prevail. So always go back to the first tip – choose the sweet mangoes!
- Are you a health buff? Add chia seeds before or after blending the mango shake ingredients. Chia seeds would give you an energy boost after drinking and has loads of health benefits with it.
- If you don’t want to use evaporated milk, you can use fresh coconut milk or almond milk. Yum!
