Makes 1 drink · Prep 5 mins · 2 ingredients · 3 steps

Ingredients

• 250ml passion fruit juice
• 150g frozen mango

Method

1. Load the blender. Tip the frozen mango and the passion fruit juice into a blender.
2. Blend until smooth. Blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if any mango is still hiding.
3. Serve it frosty. Pour into a tall glass and drink while it is still frosty.

Good to know

• No need to defrost the mango — straight from the freezer is what gives it the thick, slushy texture.
• If your blender struggles, let it stand for 5 minutes or add a splash more juice to get things moving.
• Add more juice for something you can drink through a straw, or less for a spoonable, sorbet-thick version.
• Orange, pineapple or mango juice all work in place of the passion fruit juice, though you lose a little of the sharpness.
• A squeeze of lime brightens it up if your juice is on the sweet side.
• Frozen pineapple or peach can stand in for some of the mango for a different tropical mix.
• Blend in a spoonful of yoghurt or a splash of coconut milk to turn it into a creamier smoothie.
• Best made to order — it separates as it sits, so give it a stir if it has been hanging around.
