There’s nothing quite like sipping on a tropical, creamy mango shake while watching the sun dip below the horizon. If you’re dreaming of paradise, this Golden Mango Sunrise Shake is your ticket there! It’s a perfect blend of sweet mangoes, creamy coconut milk, and a hint of citrus, making it the ultimate refreshing treat for warm days or whenever you need a taste of summer. Plus, it’s super easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. Let’s dive in!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced – The star of the show! Ripe mangoes bring natural sweetness and a velvety texture. Freeze them for a thicker shake.
- 1 cup coconut milk – Adds a creamy, tropical richness that pairs beautifully with mango. Use full-fat for extra indulgence or light for a thinner consistency.
- ½ cup orange juice – Enhances the fruity flavors and gives the shake that “sunrise” citrusy kick. Freshly squeezed is best!
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional) – If your mangoes are super sweet, you may not need this. Adjust to taste!
- 1 cup ice cubes – Keeps the shake icy cold and refreshing.
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional) – Adds a warm, subtle spice that complements the mango’s sweetness.
- Fresh mango chunks & cinnamon for garnish – Because presentation matters!
How to Make the Golden Mango Sunrise Shake
Step 1: Prep Your Mangoes
If you haven’t already, peel and dice the mangoes. For an extra thick and creamy shake, freeze the mango chunks for at least an hour before blending.
Step 2: Blend Everything Together
In a high-speed blender, combine the mango chunks, coconut milk, orange juice, honey (if using), ice cubes, and cinnamon. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Adjust Consistency
If the shake is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk or orange juice. If it’s too thin, toss in a few more frozen mango pieces or ice cubes and blend again.
Step 4: Serve & Garnish
Pour into chilled glasses, top with fresh mango chunks, and lightly dust with cinnamon for that extra tropical flair. Enjoy immediately!
Equipment Needed
- High-speed blender – Essential for creating a smooth, creamy shake.
- Sharp knife & cutting board – For prepping the mangoes.
- Measuring cups & spoons – To get the perfect balance of flavors.
- Chilled glasses – For an extra refreshing experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen mango instead of fresh?
Absolutely! Frozen mango works perfectly and makes the shake even creamier. Just reduce the amount of ice so it doesn’t get too thick.
What can I use instead of coconut milk?
You can substitute almond milk, oat milk, or even Greek yogurt for a different texture. Each option will slightly change the flavor, but they all work well!
Can I make this shake ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake or blend again before drinking.
Is this shake vegan?
Yes! As long as you skip the honey (or use a vegan alternative like maple syrup), this shake is 100% plant-based.
Can I add protein to this shake?
Definitely! Add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder for a post-workout boost. It blends in smoothly and complements the tropical flavors.
What other fruits can I add?
Pineapple, banana, or passion fruit would make great additions! Just keep the ratios balanced so the mango flavor remains the highlight.
