What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 cups frozen mango chunks
- 0.5 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup
- 0.5 cup cold water
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Measure and Layer
Add cold water and simple syrup to the blender first, followed by fresh lemon juice and coconut cream. Add frozen mango chunks last on top to help the blender pull ingredients down smoothly.
Step 2: Blend Until Thick
Blend on high speed for 45 seconds until the frozen mango lemonade is completely smooth, thick, and has a uniform golden color. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed halfway through.
Step 3: Pour and Garnish
Pour the frozen mango lemonade into chilled glasses immediately. Garnish with a fresh mango slice, lemon wheel, and a pinch of tajin or chili salt on the rim for an elevated tropical presentation.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- coconut cream → plain Greek yogurt for a protein-rich creamy mango lemonade
- simple syrup → mango nectar for a more intense tropical mango flavor
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using fresh mango instead of frozen yields a thin liquid consistency rather than a thick frozen slush
- Over-sweetening with too much simple syrup masks the natural bright lemon tartness that balances the sweet mango
