Ingredients & Substitutions
I always use full-fat coconut milk for that creamy texture, but if you want something lighter, light coconut milk works too. For the mango, make sure it’s ripe—this is key for sweetness. You can also use frozen mango if fresh isn’t available; just add a little more liquid.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep a few ripe mangoes on hand for this refresher—they're great for snacking too!
- •If you want to make it fancy, try adding a splash of rum for an adult version!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in some spinach for an extra nutrient boost—it's a great way to sneak in some greens!
- •You can also swap the lime juice for lemon juice if you want a slightly different tartness.
Storage & Freezing
This refresher is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to a day. Just give it a shake before drinking, as it may separate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just blend everything and keep it in the fridge. It might separate, so give it a good shake before serving.
What if I don’t have coconut milk?
You can substitute with almond or oat milk, but the creaminess will be different. Coconut milk really gives it that tropical vibe!
