In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of making your own mango slushy boba at home, share some variations to try, and offer tips to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.

Making Mango Slushy Boba:

To make mango slushy boba, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
• 1/2 cup ice
• 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 cup cooked boba pearls
• 1/2 cup mango juice (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the boba pearls according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water, then set aside.
2. In a blender, combine the mango cubes, milk, ice, and sugar. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add mango juice.
3. Blend the ingredients until smooth and slushy.
4. Pour the mango slush into a glass, filling it about 3/4 of the way.
5. Add the cooked boba pearls to the glass.
6. Serve immediately with a wide straw and enjoy!

Variations:

• Coconut Mango Slushy Boba: Substitute regular milk with coconut milk for a tropical twist.
• Mango-Pineapple Slushy Boba: Add 1/2 cup of pineapple chunks to the blender for a tangy kick.
• Mango-Peach Slushy Boba: Replace 1 mango with 1 cup of peeled and cubed peaches for a delightful combination.

Tips for the Best Experience:

• Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor. If your mangoes are not quite ripe, add a little extra sugar to compensate.
• Adjust the amount of ice to achieve your desired slush consistency.
• Cook the boba pearls just before serving to ensure they remain chewy and fresh.
• If you prefer a less sweet drink, start with less sugar and add more to taste.

Time-Saving Tips:

• Prepare a large batch of boba pearls in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Use frozen mango chunks instead of fresh mangoes to save time on peeling and cubing.
• Make a large batch of the mango slush and store it in the freezer for up to 1 month. Simply use a shaved ice machine and stir before serving.
