In the hot summer months, it's hard to imagine how anyone could look at a bulging, ripe, sweet, enticing mango, freshly cut from the tree, and not want to eat it right away. As tiny beads of dew gently drip down over the tight red skin, who wouldn't be tempted to dive into it right there and then, shoving it into their face until the only thing left is the skin, the stone, and a great big sticky smile?

Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to have access to the very best ripe mangoes, even when they're in season. All too often, mangoes in grocery stores across the US are sad, hard, bitter little things that are better suited to hammering nails into drywall then as a juicy summertime treat. These strange, leathery baseballs have little in common with joyful, yielding, tropical delights that come from India, Pakistan and South America. Anyone would be forgiven for passing on an under-ripe American mango.

And of course, there are those long, cold, unbearably-mango-free winters where even those fortunate souls from countries with the right summer climate to bring out the best in the King of Fruits have to try to fill the void with apples, bananas and other boring produce-and all the while, dreaming of succulent, scintillating, scrumptious mango!

Naturally, with so many people denied access to ripe mangoes for such long periods, there's great demand for mango treats that can be enjoyed at any time and will stay fresh year round. And that, of course, is one of the great mango juice benefits-almost anywhere in the world at any time, you can have a taste of the very best a mango has to offer.

Mango juice has most of the benefits of raw mango. It can help keep your heart healthy, it's a great source of antioxidants, and it could lower your risk of cancer. It's also chock full of essential vitamins and minerals. The only thing that mango juice doesn't have large amounts of is the fiber found in fresh mango. That makes mango juice less valuable for weight loss-that's because fiber is bulky and helps fill up your stomach and stop you feeling hungry. Mango juice has just as many calories as raw mango, but because it has less fiber, you're more likely to eat more food after drinking mango juice compared to if you had eaten raw mango, so it's not a great idea to have too much if you're on a diet.

The number of calories in a cup of mango juice varies significantly based on whether or not sugar has been added by the manufacturer, and if so, how much.

A typical mango juice drink with added sugar, or blended juice drink (such as apple-and-mango or grape-and-mango) has about 130 calories per cup.

Pure mango juice usually has slightly more calories-about 150 per cup-because it has so much more mango pulp in it and therefore is much thicker and more indulgent.

In either case, mango juice is a delicious and healthy treat, but people watching their weight should be careful not to consume too much.

There are hundreds more benefits of mango. For example, did you know that mango is great for your skin? Eating mangoes may also fight cancer and heart disease.
