Mango Julius is a delicious non alcoholic blended cocktail made with mango juice. I decided to make this as my second mocktail recipe for the Blogging marathon series since mangoes are in season in many places. The recipes I came across had mango juice and vanilla ice cream in the recipe. I happened to have a box of Mango flavored ice cream in my freezer which needed a little TLC, since no one really liked it. So I thought this would be a perfect way to use it up and it indeed was the best thing I did to free up some space in the freezer.
