Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe mango chunks fresh or frozen
  • 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled and grated
  • 2 tbsp honey or agave syrup for sweetness
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/2 cup orange juice optional for extra brightness
  • 1 dash lime juice to enhance tartness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Measure and prepare your mango chunks, ensuring they’re ripe and tender for easy blending.
  2. Peel the fresh ginger and grate it finely to release its spicy aroma and flavor.
  3. Add the mango chunks, grated ginger, honey, and ice cubes into your blender.
  4. Pour in the orange juice and squeeze in a dash of lime juice to brighten the flavors.
  5. Blend everything on high speed until the mixture is smooth, velvety, and ice is finely crushed—about 30 seconds.
  6. Stop the blender and check the consistency—if you prefer it thicker, add a few more frozen mango chunks and pulse briefly.
  7. Taste the slushie and adjust the sweetness or tartness if desired by adding more honey or lime juice, then blend briefly to incorporate.
  8. Pour the vibrant orange slushie into chilled glasses, allowing the icy texture to settle slightly.
  9. Garnish with a small slice of lime or a sprig of mint if you like for a fresh presentation.
  10. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy the cool, zesty refreshment that transports you to a tropical paradise.
