Alex’s mango shake
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieMy younger daughter, Alex, stayed home from school yesterday. Bad cold. By noon, she was bored. She started pestering me about making some mango shake. I told her later in the afternoon. Two hours later, she couldn’t wait anymore. She made the mango shake herself. Absolutely divine!
I didn’t see how she did it… why the milk and the pureed mango are layered that way. All I did was to set up the Thunderstick Pro for her then I left her in the kitchen. I do know, however, that she started by pureeing only two mangoes. I suppose that, after adding the milk, there wasn’t enough to fill two tall glasses. I remember her asking if she could puree the remaining three mangoes. I guess she poured the pureed mangoes into the two glasses, added milk without stirring, added the second batch of pureed mangoes, then added more milk. She was putting in sugar when I entered the kitchen and I said, “Hey, wait! The layers of mango and milk look so pretty that way. I’ll take photos first.” And I did.
We stirred the drinks after the little photo session. Drinking my daughter’s concoction was quite an experience. Darn, it was good. Too bad that her dad and sister will only get to enjoy the mango shake by looking at the photos. Alex only made enough for herself and for me.

Connie that looks yummy! It actually reminded me of the coffee from KopiRoti. The milk was at the bottom of the cup and the coffee was poured on top.
It was great, Alma, sabi sa ‘yo, hubby made faces because Alex and I finished everything.
Wow that looks yummy! For the dairy allergic (my 14 month old), I’ve made mango shakes with coconut milk. It’s divine! If the coconut milk is too cold and solidified, adding some liquid, like orange juice, coconut water, or rice milk really smooths it out.
This looks so refreshing and delicious! Your kids are going to take over your kitchen soon.
Ahahh!
Daughter following mom’s footstep. Looks refreshing! I miss the green mango shake from Max in Lipa. I had it last year!
Oh ok, thanks! =.= I’m having a hard time doing CSS on blogger.. I’m used to xanga, hehe.
Oh gosh, I don’t know when will I finish designing my blog, haha
may space pa ba for a bigger kitchen sa household mo?:lol:
encarna, that’s a neat trick. the acid smoothing out the solids in coco milk.
toni, that sounds like R-E-S-T to me.
relly, i love green mango shake. in the summer, when mangoes are less expensive, we’ll make some.
cindy, if you go to wordpress.org, they give free bog hosting. much better than blogger.
sha, di na pwede. we’re thinking of moving. kasi din, the neighborhood is getting lousy. kulang pa pera hehehe
Great..i’ll wait for that Connie, is it possible to send me by e-mail LOL
hi, it looks excellent!..how i wish i could eat and drink ripe mangoes:sad:
im a new mommy and my baby girl will be christen this coming march…just hope you could help me for a good menu and recipe as well.
thnks!:grin:
relly, ako rin
. natakaw tuloy ako hehehe
arianne, just browse around the blog. or you can wait a few days while i rebuild my party journal.
It looks divine alright! I like the colors. Your daughter is “nakakatuwa” talaga.
Mangoes here are quite rare. The ones they sell at the Asian markets are really expensive. Yoko na isipin uli.
As a child, I used to cut into cubes the ‘mango cheeks’ (yung dalawang pisngi ng mangga in Tagalog). Then put the mango cubes in a glass or bowl, then add evaporated milk, some crushed ice, and a bit of sugar. And voila, meron na akong fruit dessert!
This entry reminded me so much of my sometimes-wonderful childhood.
Thanks.
Jayred, pag may sumpong sya… nakakatuwa sakalin.
…yum…Ãœ
hehe..
Ang galing naman ng mga recipe ninyo ni Alex. I bet you’re damn proud of you daughter. Ako rin may anak na mahilig din mag luto her name is Meeki. At first she wants to be a pediatrician and now she wants to be a chef. I told her kung saan ka masaya. By the way, we live here in San Antonio, Texas “SPURS land”, most of my daughter’s creation is inspired by mexican and german cooking. Hello? San Antonio?, this place is 50% populated by mexicans, 20% germans and guess what’s next, us asians and the gringo’s(americans). I bet with this blogsite would inspire her to cook pinoy dishes. Thanks god. Im sick and tired of cooking american foods.
Im (nurse on duty, good job) at work right now and I tell you, im already drooling just by looking at your recipe and pictures of your dish. Also, I just went home sa pinas lately, OMG I cant believe the food we have now sa pinas. Let me start at DAMPA sa paranaque, the food was lets just put it this way, OMG. I cant believe we have now a wide variety of seafoods including lobster (where did that come from) and the way it is cooked. Whoa all I can say is “im not worthy” (ala wayne’s world).
OK GTG. I need to go back to work.
Hi Edward. Yah, am proud of my kids.
So, your daughter wants to be a chef. She’s lucky ha, ’cause your response is “kung saan sya masaya”. I think that’s the best encouragement and support any kid can get from a parent. And from what you say, it looks like she’s going to be a wiz with fusion cooking.
Dampa… it’s all the rage these days. The Dampa in Parañaque has been copied all over the country. I have a few reviews in my other food blog (link).
