Mango-Coconut Chia Cooler
This Mango-Coconut Chia Cooler is like a tropical vacation in a glass! I love how refreshing it is, especially on hot summer days.
This recipe holds a special place in my heart because it reminds me of lazy afternoons spent by the beach, sipping something cool and fruity.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh coconut water because it adds a natural sweetness and freshness. If you can't find it, you can use regular water, but it won't have the same tropical vibe. For the mango, make sure it's ripe—it should give a little when you press it. If you're in a pinch, frozen mango works too!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass jar in the fridge for a couple of days, and it gets even better as the flavors meld together.
- •If you want a creamier texture, feel free to add a bit more almond milk or even some coconut yogurt!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a scoop of protein powder to make it a more filling snack.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I might add a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost—it's surprisingly good!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just remember to give it a good stir before you enjoy it again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just be aware that the chia seeds will continue to thicken, so you might want to add a splash more coconut water or almond milk before serving.

Pour the cooler into glasses and top with toasted coconut flakes and mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
