Mango Buttermilk Shake

Mango Buttermilk Shake is cool, creamy, with a nod to the tropics. This shake has me yearning for warmer weather. 

As a child, I remember my dad eating buttermilk and cornbread. He would crumble up some leftover cornbread in a glass, pour in the buttermilk, and eat it with a spoon.

I’ve never been a fan of buttermilk when it comes to straight-up chugging. I would definitely need a chaser.

However, when it comes to cooking/baking, buttermilk is hard to beat. I sang buttermilk’s praises when I shared my Mexican corn casserole.

Benefits of Buttermilk

Buttermilk is acidic like sour cream and yogurt. It helps tenderize the gluten in pancakes and cake batter. Soaking chicken in buttermilk before frying makes it tender, juicy, and crispy.  

Don’t even get me started on buttermilk biscuits or cornbread. Buttermilk seems to make everything better. 

Also, buttermilk is surprisingly low in fat and calories. While buttermilk was once the low-fat leftover portion of milk or cream after it had been churned, today buttermilk is made from non-fat or low-fat milk.

Buttermilk is also a good source of vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus.

Mango Buttermilk Shake

I doubled the recipe and whipped up a batch of Mango Buttermilk shakes on a lazy Sunday afternoon and served them to my kids and their significant others. Everyone loved them.

One of the girlfriends asked if I used yogurt and was surprised when she found out it was buttermilk.

The shakes are thick, creamy, and full of mango flavor. It’s the perfect shake for breakfast or a snack. And it doesn’t “taste” like buttermilk at all!
