3-Minute 3-Ingredient Mango Milkshake (dairy-free, sugar-free, paleo)

It’s winter, but in our house that doesn’t deter us from requesting – and eating – ice creams, or in this case, milkshakes. It does, however, deter us from eating them outside like we would in the summer. I mean, we’re not crazy. Winter also makes me lazy. Well, as lazy as a mom of two littles who also owns a business can be, I guess. Lazy in terms of making ice cream. During the summer I get super creative with experimenting with recipes (usually involving chocolate) and concocting all kinds of frozen goodness in the kitchen. But in the winter, I spend most of my cooking energy on warm meals (soups and stews oh my), and stick to the basics when it comes to frozen treats. That’s why I love this mango milkshake recipe. It fosters my laziness.

Health Benefits of Mangoes

Let’s talk about mangoes for a minute. They deserve a minute – maybe two. Mangoes have a number of health benefits that make them a super snack. Mangoes are packed with vitamins A, B, and C, and contain magnesium, potassium, and copper too. The antioxidants contained in mangoes can help the body fight cancer, while the vitamins and fibers help lower cholesterol and keep blood pressure in check. The probiotic fibers in mangoes aid digestive functioning, the vitamins and potassium content can help ward off heart disease, and the vitamins and carotenoids contribute to immune system health. Mangoes even promote healthy skin and hair, good eye sight, and bone health.

And they’re delicious.

3-Minute 3-Ingredient Mango Milkshake

Have you ever had frozen mango? Much like fresh mango, frozen mango is yummy. It’s a nice blend of creamy, sweet, and slightly tart, and makes a great addition to smoothies, FYI. We keep a huge stock of frozen fruit in our freezer at all times for our daily kale smoothies, and mango is a favorite. The kids often request frozen mango as part of their snack. So one day, probably a winter day, when I was craving ice cream, I decided to throw some frozen mango into my food processor and see what happened. And this 3-Minute 3-Ingredient Mango Milkshake recipe was born. You won’t believe how easy and delicious it is. You might even feel silly for spending possibly more time reading this post than actually making the milkshake. But hey, you learned some pretty cool things about mangoes!

– 10oz bag organic frozen mango chunks
– 2/3c full fat organic coconut milk
– 2T organic maple syrup  or raw honey

Put everything in food processor (or a really great blender) and process/blend until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if you like your shakes a little runnier, no judgment here. *TIP: store any leftover in popsicle molds for popsicles later!
