Mango purée drinks: juice, lassi, smoothies and mocktails
Fresh mangoes vary from crate to crate and their season in Egypt is short. Mango purée gives the same sweetness and colour all year, and a jug of juice takes a minute instead of twenty.
1. Fresh-style mango juice
Ratio: 1 part purée to 1.5–2 parts cold water, sugar syrup to taste. Start thick and thin it to your customers' preference; write the final ratio down so every shift makes it the same way.
2. Mango lassi
- 120 g mango purée
- 150 g plain yoghurt
- 80 ml cold milk
- Pinch of cardamom, sugar to taste
Blend for 20 seconds and serve cold.
3. Mango smoothie
Blend 100 g purée, a frozen banana, 150 ml milk or orange juice and a few ice cubes.
4. Mango and passion fruit mocktail
Shake 60 g mango purée, 20 g passion fruit purée, 15 ml lime juice and ice, then top with soda. More ideas in our passion fruit drinks menu.
5. Mango iced tea
Stir 40 g purée into 250 ml cold black or green tea, sweeten and pour over ice.
Costing a glass
Because purée is 100% fruit with no peel or stone, every gram you pay for goes into the glass. Divide the pack price by its weight, then multiply by the grams per drink.
