Freezing Mangoes
Freezing Mangoes
If the sole purpose of the mangoes is to make a smoothie, should I freeze skinned and cubed up, or blend it then freeze?
Mangoes can make an excellent fruit for a sweet & spicy dish. For example, they pair extremely well as a counter for spicy jerk chicken!
Are you a bot?
No, what makes you think im a bot?
The end result will be probably the same, but blend then freeze should be overall less work - you can blend it all at once, then freeze it already in portions. (Ice cube trays are a godsend for that.)
... I've heard of frozen cubed mango before for sure, but I've never heard of someone just freezing a mango smoothie.
I ... do not see why this wouldn't be delicious actually, it'd probably be like a mango granita basically. Probably a pain in the ass to get back into the blender if you wanted it in smoothie form though, so maybe just the cubes.

Ya, I think you'd want to freeze the purée in an ice cube tray... at which point you've done a lot of extra work to get them into cube form.
You want to skin and cube before blending. Don’t freeze already blended as this will break down the sugars further when using again. Also that way the juice will be frozen within the fruit preserving the flavor better than puréing and freezing.
