Mango Passion Fruit Juice
Passion fruit is the fruit you buy for the smell and then wonder what to do with. This is the answer: scoop the pulp over sweet mango, juice or blitz it, and you get a thick golden glass that tastes like a holiday. No added sugar and nothing strained away unless you want it that way, and it carries more vitamin C than a glass of orange juice.
Equipment
- 1 Juicer masticating or centrifugal
- 1 High-speed blender for the blender method
- 1 Nut milk bag or fine-mesh sieve to strain the blender version
- 2 Airtight glass bottles for storing
- 1 Budget cold press juicer a great value alternative
- 1 Budget blender a great value alternative
Ingredients
Juice base
- 2 ripe mangoes peeled and stoned, about 400g of flesh; squeeze the stones over the bowl first, they hold more juice than you'd think
- 4 passion fruits halved, with the pulp and seeds scooped out, about 70g of pulp
- 100 ml cold water only if using the blender method
Instructions
Juicer method
- Peel the mangoes and slice the flesh off the stone in big chunks. Squeeze the stones over the bowl, then pick out any stringy bits.
- Halve the passion fruits and scoop the pulp and seeds into a small bowl.
- Feed the mango chunks through the juicer a few at a time. Mango is soft, so if it stalls, push it through with a spoonful of passion fruit pulp rather than ramping the plunger.
- Stir the passion fruit pulp through the mango juice, seeds and all. Taste, add a splash of cold water if you want it thinner, and pour into two glasses over ice.
Blender method
- Prep the fruit the same way: mango flesh in chunks, passion fruit pulp scooped out.
- Tip the mango, passion fruit pulp and cold water into a high-speed blender and blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, until smooth.
- Pour through a nut milk bag or fine sieve if you want it seed-free, squeezing out as much as you can. Leave it unstrained if you like the seeds, they're edible.
- Taste, thin with a splash more water if you need to, and serve over ice.
