Recipe Information

• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• Blending Time: 1 minute
• Total Time: 11 minutes
• Servings: 2 large glasses
• Difficulty: Easy
• Method: Blending

Ingredients

• 1½ cups (360 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice, chilled
• 1 ripe peach, approximately 150 g
• 1 ripe mango, approximately 200 g of prepared flesh
• 1 tablespoon natural honey
• 4–6 ice cubes, optional

How to Make Orange Juice with Peach, Mango and Natural Honey

1. Prepare the Orange Juice

Squeeze enough fresh oranges to obtain 1½ cups (360 ml) of juice. Remove any seeds and refrigerate the juice until cold.

2. Prepare the Peach

Wash the peach thoroughly, cut it in half, and remove the stone. Chop the peach into small pieces. You may leave the skin on or peel it for a smoother drink.

3. Prepare the Mango

Peel the mango, remove the stone, and cut approximately 200 g of the flesh into small chunks.

4. Add the Ingredients to the Blender

Place the chopped peach and mango in a blender. Pour in the chilled orange juice, then add the natural honey and ice cubes if using.

5. Blend Until Smooth

Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds, or until the fruit is completely combined and the drink becomes smooth and creamy.

6. Adjust the Sweetness

Taste the juice before serving. If the fruit is already very sweet, no additional honey is necessary. Add a little more honey only if desired, then blend briefly.

7. Serve Immediately

Pour the orange, peach, and mango juice into chilled glasses. Serve immediately to enjoy its fresh flavor, vibrant color, and smooth texture.

Preparation Tips

• Use fully ripe peach and mango for better flavor and natural sweetness.
• Chill the fruit and orange juice beforehand to avoid diluting the drink with too much ice.
• If the juice is thicker than desired, add a small amount of cold orange juice and blend again.
• Natural separation may occur after standing; simply stir the drink before serving.

Serving juice:

You can serve the juice in the Moroccan style—whether for breakfast, at special occasions, or during family gatherings—alongside cakes (such as chocolate or plain cake) and various types of traditional Moroccan sweets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can orange juice, peach and mango be blended together?

Yes. Fresh orange juice blends well with ripe peach and mango. Orange adds a bright citrus flavor, while peach and mango create natural sweetness and a smooth, slightly creamy texture.

Do I need to add honey to this fruit juice?

No. Honey is optional. If the peach and mango are fully ripe and naturally sweet, prepare the drink without honey. Taste the juice after blending and add honey only when needed.

Can I use bottled orange juice?

Yes. Choose 100% orange juice without added sugar for the closest result. Freshly squeezed orange juice usually provides a brighter and fresher flavor.

Should I peel the peach before blending it?

Peeling is optional. The peach skin can be blended into the drink and contributes some fiber. Peel it if you prefer a smoother and more uniform texture.

Can frozen peach or mango be used?

Yes. Frozen fruit creates a colder and thicker drink. When using frozen peach or mango, reduce or omit the ice cubes and allow the fruit to soften slightly if your blender is not very powerful.

Why is my orange, peach and mango juice too thick?

Whole peach and mango naturally make the drink thicker. Add a small amount of cold orange juice and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.

Should I strain the juice after blending?

Straining is not necessary when using a powerful blender. Keeping the blended fruit pulp preserves more fiber. For an exceptionally smooth drink, pass it through a fine-mesh strainer before serving.

Can I prepare this juice in advance?

The drink tastes best immediately after blending. If necessary, store it in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Natural separation may occur, so stir or shake it well before serving.

Is this drink suitable after a workout?

It provides fluid and carbohydrates that can supply energy after exercise. However, it contains only a small amount of protein and sodium, so pair it with a protein-rich food for a more balanced post-workout snack.

How many calories are in one serving?

One serving contains approximately 202 calories when the recipe is divided into two equal portions and prepared with one tablespoon of honey. Without honey, each serving contains approximately 170 calories. Actual values vary with fruit size and ripeness.

Is this recipe vegan?

Honey is not considered vegan. To make the drink vegan, omit the honey or replace it with a suitable plant-based sweetener. Ripe fruit may provide enough sweetness without any added sweetener.

How many servings does this recipe make?

The recipe makes approximately two large servings. It can be doubled while keeping the same ingredient proportions.
