Cool, hydrating and bursting with tropical flavor, this mango melon mint cooler is a vibrant drink that blends sweet mangoes, juicy melon, crisp mint, and coconut water for the ultimate summer smoothie!
Why this smoothie?
I would call this drink a celebration of freshness and simplicity - it provides nourishment with fresh and crisp produce revitalizing the body with much needed nutrients. During summer, no-cook and easy recipes are the norm and this smoothie provides much needed nourishment. This uses the summer bounty. Mango is in peak season. Melon and coconut water helps to beat the heat and mint adds to the refreshing taste. Keeps you "Naturally Cool"! That’s simply the reason why you should make this.
In addition, this recipe doesn't use sugar at all, the sweetness of the fruits is amazing and perfect.
Using the summer produce is a great idea to get your nourishment while keeping a tab on your budget. Some varieties of mangoes may be expensive but you can find fresh or frozen mango in your nearby markets.
This is easy to prepare too! Whether you make it just for yourself or for your family or for entertainment, it is a drink that feels as good as it tastes.
Ingredients
Mangoes - Fresh mangoes give better taste than canned ones and canned ones have sugar too. Instead, use frozen mango cubes.
Coconut water - This recipe uses coconut water in tetrapak. Nowadays we get the tender coconut in some stores and sometimes. When I do not find the fresh ones, I have these packed ones and they are amazing too. If you get plenty of fresh tender coconut water, use that.
Cantaloupe - Although cantaloupe gives the vibrant color with mangoes, you may use any melon of your choice or what is available.
Ice cubes
What mangoes to use.
Mango, for me, is very divine. And it is a childhood favorite that has never changed. In the season, I love to buy this amazing fruit often.
The varieties we get here are not the ones that we grew up with. Sometimes, during the mango season, the grocers get shipments from India and we get fresh Banganapalli, Rasalu, Alphonso etc.
Any variety of mango would work in this smoothie. However, choose the one that is less fibrous and is nice and ripe.
More Refreshing Drinks for Summer
I love this Buttermilk as well as this Vazhaithandu Mor which are frequent ones in our home. We need tons of refreshing and nourishing drinks during summer. Very Berry Lassi, Jamun and Coconut Water Cooler are amazing drinks that you can enjoy with friends and family just like this Watermelon Refresher.
