Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh mamey sapote, cubed
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar, plus more if needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup of ice

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a blender and mix on high until the ice is well blended. 
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • It's best to use a high-speed blender if you have one. If you don't, you will need to scrape down the sides a couple of times and it will take an extra minute or two to get a nice smooth consistency.
  • This traditional mamey sapote smoothie recipe is delicious as it is, but you can easily add in other fruits like banana or mango. The sugar can be swapped with honey or maple syrup if you prefer.
  • Use a ripe mamey for this smoothie recipe. It should be firm but not hard, and if you scratch off some skin close to the stem it should be a reddish color. If it is green it is not ripe.
  • If you can't find the fresh fruit, you can also use the frozen mamey fruit to make this smoothie. Get it in the Hispanic frozen products section at the supermarket.
