Hello, Kristine here again!

If there’s one thing I look forward to all summer long, it’s a chilled, fruity drink that can instantly beat the heat while giving a little sparkle to my day. And this one, dear readers, is a total game-changer. Korean Mango Milk Yakult is the perfect blend of tropical mangoes, creamy milk, tangy Yakult, and just enough sweetness to keep your taste buds dancing. Whether you’re a K-drama enthusiast, a foodie on the hunt for new flavor fusions, or simply trying to survive the summer blaze—this recipe belongs in your kitchen!

Let’s take a sunny stroll through this refreshing recipe.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup ripe mango (fresh or frozen)

• 1/2 cup chilled milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat)

• 1 bottle Yakult (original or light)

• 2 teaspoons honey or sugar (adjust to taste)

• Ice cubes (optional)

• Mint leaves or mango chunks for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Choose the Right Mangoes

The star of the show is, of course, mango. Alphonso or Kesar work wonderfully for their sweetness and smooth texture. If you're using frozen mangoes, just let them thaw for 5 minutes before blending.

Step 2: Blend the Base

In a blender, combine mango pieces, chilled milk, and sweetener. Blend until smooth and creamy. This is your fruity base—vibrant and silky.

Step 3: Add the Yakult

Gently pour in a bottle of Yakult and give it a quick pulse in the blender. Be careful not to over-blend after adding Yakult to preserve its probiotic goodness.

Step 4: Serve it Up

Pour the golden drink into a chilled glass. Add ice cubes if desired, and top it off with fresh mango chunks or mint for that Instagram-worthy finish.

Make It Your Own

• Vegan version: Swap Yakult with a dairy-free probiotic drink and use oat or almond milk.

• Mango Lassi Vibes: Add a dash of cardamom or rosewater for a floral twist.

• Frozen Smoothie: Add ice and frozen banana to turn it into a smoothie bowl!

Tips & Tricks

• Always use chilled ingredients for the best flavor.

• Yakult should be added last to retain its probiotic benefits.

• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert-like indulgence.

• You can prep the mango-milk base in advance and add Yakult just before serving.
