Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Put the frozen mango in a food processor (or a strong blender) and blend until it looks like wet sand. 0:30
  2. Add the lime juice and agave, scrape down the sides and blend again, scraping down once or twice, until completely smooth and creamy with no chunks. 0:35
  3. Eat it straight away as a soft sorbet, or spoon it into a freezer-safe container with a lid and freeze for at least 1 hour (the cook freezes it about 4 hours) until scoopable. 2:09
  4. If it has been frozen overnight, leave it on the bench for a few minutes to soften, and dip the scoop in hot water before scooping. 4:14

Tip. Freeze your own over-ripe or stringy mangoes for this. The same method works with strawberries or pears; a splash of coconut milk or a few basil leaves are the cook's other ideas. Leave out the agave for no added sugar.

Vitamin C High36%

32 mg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (94%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Show the other 14
Folate9%

37 µg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (95%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin B67%

0.1 mg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (88%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Vitamin A5%

45 µg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (99%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Vitamin E5%

0.8 mg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (93%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Vitamin K4%

4.7 µg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (74%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Potassium3%

140 mg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (97%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Magnesium2%

8.6 mg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (96%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Omega-32%

0 g a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (100%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Calcium1%

9.7 mg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (94%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Iron1%

0.2 mg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (95%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Zinc1%

0.1 mg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (95%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Selenium1%

0.6 µg a serve, mostly from frozen mango chunks (84%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Vitamin D0%

0 µg a serve. Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin B120%

0 µg a serve. Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
