This mango season, we’re going full mango. With fresh, hand-picked mangoes from India, Yemen, Thailand, Peru, and more delivered straight to your doorstep via Careem Groceries, there’s never been a juicier excuse to get creative in the kitchen.

From creamy drinks to spicy sides, here are six no-fuss, high-reward recipes that show off the best mango season has to offer. 

Mango Mania has arrived 

Why settle for one kind of mango when you can travel the globe with your tastebuds? This season, we’re delivering the highest quality sunshine-packed mangoes from:

• Thailand – golden, buttery Nam Dok Mai

• Yemen – sweet, fragrant gems with a cult following

• India – the king of mangoes, Alphonso, and its delicious cousins

• Peru – bold, juicy varieties bursting with Latin zest

Each one has its own story, its own flavour profile, and trust us — they’re all irresistible.

What to make with all those mangoes?

1. Mango Smoothie Bowl

This one’s basically summer in a bowl. It’s cold, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet — perfect for lazy breakfasts or a post-workout treat.

• Blend mango, banana, yogurt/coconut milk, and honey until smooth.
• Pour into a bowl and add your favorite toppings (granola, chia, fresh fruit).
• Enjoy a refreshing, healthy breakfast!

Perfect for those mangoes left over in the fridge that feel a bit too ripe to eat alone — they blend like a dream.

2. Mango Avocado Salad

A little sweet, a little creamy, and a lot refreshing. This is the kind of side dish that steals the spotlight (and looks great on a plate, too).

• Combine diced mango, avocado, cucumber, and red onion.
• Drizzle with lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Toss gently and serve fresh!

Pro tip: Look for Thai or Yemeni mangoes for a super buttery bite.

3. Spicy Mango Salsa

Bright, punchy, and just the right amount of heat — this salsa is made for taco night, grain bowls, or straight out of the bowl with chips.

• Dice mango, tomato, red onion, and jalapeño.
• Toss with lime juice, salt, and chopped coriander.
• Serve with chips or as a taco topping!

Bonus: Peruvian mangoes pack the kind of tang that makes this one sing.

 4. Mango Lassi

Cool, creamy, and perfectly sweet, this South Asian classic doubles as a snack or a light dessert. Just blend, pour, and sip.

• Blend mango pulp with yogurt, milk, sugar, and a pinch of cardamom.
• Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
• Pour into a glass and enjoy cold!

5. Mango Chia Pudding

Meal prep that doesn’t feel like a chore. This one’s overnight magic — mix it up before bed and wake up to a ready-to-go breakfast that tastes like tropical dessert.

• Mix chia seeds with milk and honey, then refrigerate overnight.
• Top with mango puree and fresh mango chunks.
• Stir and enjoy a cool, fiber-rich treat!

Careem Groceries has the mangoes and the chia seeds. Just saying.

6. Mango Mojito

Think classic mojito, but sunnier. It’s light, refreshing, and comes with a twist of juicy mango goodness.

• Muddle mint leaves with lime juice and sugar.
• Add mango puree and crushed ice to the glass.
• Top with soda water, stir, and sip!

Perfect for weekend wind-downs — and even better when made with ripe Yemeni mangoes.
