Raw Mango Juice & Other Homemade Seasonal Coolers (No Juicer Needed!)

 Summer and mangoes go hand-in-hand — but what do you do when your kitchen is overflowing with raw or half-ripe mangoes? This raw mango juice is the easiest, most nostalgic cooler — and you don’t even need a fancy juicer. Just a blender and some love.

Raw Mango Juice (Kairi Sharbat)

Ingredients:

• Raw mangoes (or those small ripe mangoes that soften over time)

• Sugar (as per taste)

• Water

• Kala namak (black salt), for serving

Method:

1. Peel and chop the mangoes into pieces.

2. Add mango pieces and sugar into a blender. Blend until smooth.

3. Add cold water to the mixture and blend again.

4. Pour into glasses and sprinkle a little kala namak on top. That’s it!

5. Serve chilled and enjoy that tangy-sweet kick!

Tip: If you like a more diluted version, add more water or even some mint leaves while blending.

Bonus Coolers: Using the Same Blender Technique

You can use this same method to make other healthy, tasty juices at home — all without a juicer!
