Mango Mint Refresher - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I made this Mango Mint Refresher on a sunny afternoon, sitting on my porch with friends.

It was one of those moments when the flavors danced together perfectly, and I just had to share the recipe.

This drink is not only delicious but also a great way to hydrate and enjoy the beautiful bounty of summer fruits.

Plus, using fresh mint makes it feel like a little gift from the garden!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Using ripe mango is key – it should give a little when you press it, indicating it’s sweet and ready. Fresh mint really elevates the drink; don’t skip it! If you can’t find fresh, you can use a drop of mint extract, but fresh is always best.

Tips & Notes

  • I love keeping a few extra mint leaves in the fridge for garnishing – they make everything feel a bit more special.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a couple of slices of cucumber to the blender for an extra refreshing kick!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll add a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy version – it’s so refreshing on a hot day!
  • If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a small piece of ginger to the blender for a spicy note!

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a good shake before enjoying again. I like to keep mine in a glass jar – it feels a bit more special!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

    In a blender, combine the diced mango, fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and filtered water.

  3. 3

    Blend until smooth. If you like a bit of texture, you can blend it less.

  4. 4

    Taste the mixture and add agave syrup if you’d like it sweeter. Blend again briefly to combine.

  5. 5

    Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the mint bits and any pulp, if desired.

    Serve over ice cubes in glasses, garnished with extra mint leaves if you’re feeling fancy.
