Been craving for green mango juice. If there’s anything attractive about Philippine summers, it’s the abundance of mangoes–ripe and unripe.
Mangoes that are just starting to ripen are best for making green mango juice. The skin is usually still green but the meat–or pulp–is starting to turn yellow. The very green unripe mangoes, usually diced for salads, don’t make very smooth purees. The ones that are still sour but with the meat starting to soften towards ripeness are the ones that make wonderful green mango juice.
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 semi-ripe mangoes
- sugar
- ice
Instructions
- Peel the mangoes. Discard the stones.
- Dice the mango flesh.
- Place in the blender or food processor with a little water and LOTS of white sugar (or sugar substitute, if you prefer). You will need a LOT of sugar to kill the sourness. Process until you get a smooth puree. Pour into glasses and add crushed ice.
Quick Notes
If you want to cheat, go to Tiendesitas and look for the EJC food store (Danding Cojuangco’s farm produce) where you can buy sweetened green mango puree. Just add water and ice and it’s just like drinking juice made from freshly pureed green mangoes.
Relly, I hope you enjoy this entry. I wish you can get green mangoes in France so you can enjoy this tropical summer drink. :)

Eh I like to eat green mangoes rather than drink it. Once in a while, I order this drink and after drinking, my eyes starts acting up (due to the high sugar content)
I don’t know if it will work to others. I feel a slight and sometimes total relief of hangover when I drink this green mango juice after being over refreshed from an evening’s unwinding bout.
Oh, right, noemi. Cause unless you load the thing with sugar, it’s going to be so sour.
LOL Trosp, now that’s a tip!
:razz: Been craving for .. mmmm.. thanks connie.. i wish we get that by e mail hah! LOL
It looks delicious… imagine ko na lang ang lasa.
We cannot get the same variety here… Salamat ha!
Can i put bagoong on it? just kidding… But there is this version i saw in one cookbook that uses Sprite instead of water..hmmm..maybe diet Sprite for those calorie consious.
You’re welcome, Relly. :)
Lee, the sprite is added to the puree, I guess. Not while pureeing? Kasi aapaw yun.
i love green mangoe too but well
bawal na sakin
you can only taste the best mango in the world when you’re in the philippines, coz even they bring mango from our country to other country like here in Japan…its not gonna taste the same…specially kung dito mahihinog…hay i miss mango so much…yup green or riped.I love green mango shake :) have anyone tried that before? it got milk on it :)

OMG! I am so glad I found this post. Just came back from boracay and am in dire need of a green mango juice. Salamat!
Just a constructive comment..the correct word is “seed” and not bones. It seems you translated your language to english….. seed is used for fruits….bones are for animals
Bai, you’re the only one using the term “bones” so I’m wondering who you are correcting.
And with mango, it is STONE, not seed.
It seems you didn’t read the post.
