01 — THE STORY

Behind the plate

Mango and banana create a creamy smoothie without dairy. A small amount of orange juice loosens the dense fruit while reinforcing the tropical flavour, and honey rounds any fruit that is not fully sweet.

Because the formula is designed for volume, blending in batches protects the machine and gives a more consistent texture than overfilling one jug.

03 — THE METHOD

Cook step by step

01
Chill all the fruit and orange juice before blending.
02
Cut the mango and banana into pieces suitable for the blender.
03
Blend in manageable batches with proportional amounts of orange juice until completely smooth.
04
Add the honey gradually, blend again and taste before using the full amount if the fruit is already very sweet.
05
Combine all batches in a clean chilled container, stir thoroughly and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate briefly.

04 — FROM THE PASS

Chef's notes

Use fully ripe, aromatic mango for the strongest flavour and smoothest texture.
Do not overfill a blender with dense fruit; process in batches within the machine’s safe capacity.
Banana darkens after blending, so prepare close to service and keep chilled.
Honey is included in the supplied formula but may not all be needed after tasting.
