Mango Juice thread

I love Mangoes and I am proud to say that I am a mango juice connoisseur. I have tasted mango juice from different brands and countries and here I present to you my findings :

Creamy and tastes of real mangoes, perhaps it's down to the fact that they use Indian Alphonso mangoes and the mango puree content is quite high. In my experience, This is the NO.1 MANGO JUICE IN THE WORLD!

Part mango. It's mixed with apple and grape juice. And, even then it's too diluted

Tasty and also along the lines of UAE's Mazaa. Only problem with this I have noticed is that you cannot drink it on an empty stomach. You must have food shortly after drinking this, otherwise you get diarrhoea! Not sure why, just not sure. Because of this, I am knocking off a few points!

This was the best mango juice in the world, due to the higher concentration of mango pulp. Due to change in the formula, now it's just dilute and I struggled to drink it

********PIC LIMIT REACHED. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER POSTS IN THIS THREAD FOR MORE JUICES *********

Me & my fridge had a bad feeling the minute I saw this thread, and sure enough.. :(

Mind you it has been sitting there unloved a week past its 'drink once open' date, maybe that says something.

Am I reading correctly you found most/all of these in the UK originally then, or are you some sort of mango juice tourist :cool:


/edit, I would never have voluntarily posted in cookery! this thread is eminently GD-able imo, now it will likely just die a miserable death :mad:

Yup, I am a mango juice tourist :D

8 of the above are available in the UK if you look hard enough

I'm very partial to a mango smoothie. This consusts of banana, orange, apple, ice cubes and, of course, mango. And NOTHING else. Then blend.

It's healthy, nutritious and as, a minute before I start drinking it, it was fruits, it's certainly fresh. Yummy.

I've seen that before, but note the caveats in that article ....

Quote:

.... None of these studies specifically looked at the health benefits or otherwise of fruit smoothies, which are a relatively recent phenomenon, nor did they look at the impact of different types of juice - for instance, whether it was freshly squeezed or from concentrate, home-made or shop-bought. I would assume, for example, that drinking a home-made vegetable smoothie is going to be a lot better for you than a commercial fruit smoothie ....

---

I'm not talking about using either juice or concentrate. I'm talking about using the fruit itself. Note he also talks about where, in the fruit, the nutrition is concentrated, and hence peeling the fruit. Well, that depends on the fruit. Bananas and oranges get peeled, but mangoes, apples, pears etc get used whole, peel, and all, and while I remove the mango pitt, apple and pear seeds, etc, stay in and get blended.

And while I'm very partial to mango smoothies, mostly, I do "green" smoothies which, yes, have fruit (say banana and pineapple) but also includes spinach, brocolli, etc.

But again, I'm talking about home-made smoothies that, minutes before drinking, were fruit. Or vegetables. No unknown extras, no saccarine-type sugars, no preservatives, etc.

This reminds me of a one random time while I was in my local Tesco, a white gentleman came up to me and said "You appear to be a man of Indian origin, could you please recommend me a mango juice?!".

My reaction was "O_o.....O.K. let's have a look!" haha, and oh yeah he thought the Rubicon one was terrible too :P.

LOL. Thats happened to me except I'm Chinese so an elderly woman asked me which brand of soy sauce was best.

I guess that's where you want a killer Brian Sewell impression, and start talking Earl Grey & cucumber sandwiches.

e-LAN-go, long time no see :)

(btw have just noticed a hexus member lethalMango over in networking & broadband, so there is something worse than Rubicon...)

New Juices added !

I like Rubicon :eek: but I love mangoes. Im gonna try get my hands on some mazaaaaaaa

Tasted Aasani and Sunpride yesterday and both are yuk - just mango flavoured water!

Water + sugar + mango flavouring. Too diluted!

Avoid anything that says "juice drink", its a marketing con.

Maaza and slice are my fav in India here they do taste a bit diluted/watery(weather makes different on how much you enjoy it I guess). So vote in UK goes to rubicon

What's the best mango juice that's readily available in the UK?

Indeed completely different animal. I also will add the pulp back into my smoothie.

Ever since my holiday in the Philippines, i have been unable to enjoy mango juice because its just so damn tasty out there. I havent found anything that comes close. Ill have to try some of these and see if they take me back :D

I would probably jump on a plane right now just for another green mango shake... mmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmm

"juice drink" = no actual fruit was harmed in the making of this beverage :)

RANI FLOAT - Have reduced the score to 1 from 8 , as the ingredients seem to be peach pieces, pear juice and mango flavouring! :o

Can't get enough of that at the moment! :)

I have tasted that. Made with raw mangoes and too much water. I struggled to give it even a 1 !

What? Really? It was really thick when I just drank it, in no way watered down.

I'm going to try and find one of your high scoring ones and compare ;)

I've only ever had rubicon. I don't really like it because its so damn thick.

I will have to try this. Have tried a few from Asda, and not really a fan of many of them, as they're watered down or have apple or some other fruit (with less than 10% mango in them). At the moment, my fave's Rubicon, but that's because I can't find anything better.

Just bought some imported Masafi mango juice (UAE) from the corner shop near where I live. It's a lot thicker than most of the stuff I've had in the UK - almost milkshake consistency, really nice.

Mix in mango juice and Natural yoghurt to make a home made mango lassi, half and half proportions. Healthier than the one in the restaurants and isn't half as bad.

This is what you could call mago-tastic see what I did there?

Going to asda if they do the good mango juices

Thread updated with new findings :rockon:

In other news, did you guys know that there is a special version of the Bounty chocolate, which has mango pieces in it ???

It's only available in Russia!

Hi, I also like fresh mango juice and I recommend it rather than buying mixed or prepared already in bottles or tetra packs. Try also using fresh ripe or green mangoes using a juice extractor.

This seems to be a new British entry. Unfortunately, you can only find it in Arab shops in various Arab neighbourhood high streets.It is a little too sweet for my liking but it's definitely better than that crap called Rubicon!

The best mango in the world has to be the Chounsa mango from Pakistan. This juice feels very pure - it feel as if a mango was pulped up and mixed with water. You can even find the mango flesh!

Eastham , shop next to Cakes & Bakes, after Eastham station.

Sounds like a VERY local store

I've seen alot of things online in my time; some good, some bad. I've never expected to see a thread dedicated to mango juices lol

I adore this juice from Tropicana! I could drink it everyday!

I like your ratings. To add to this I would give Rubicon Mango Juice a 1/10, it tastes of just sugary water with a hint of mango flavour.

I have recently tasted Halwani Borthers Mango juice.
This is quite tasty but too sweet.
Made in Egypt.
