Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using ripe mangoes for their sweetness, but you can also use frozen mango if you’re in a pinch. The jalapeño adds a nice kick, but if you’re sensitive to spice, feel free to use just a little or skip it altogether. The chia seeds are so good for you and help keep you feeling full, so I never skip them!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my chia seeds in a glass jar - they stay fresh for weeks!
- •If you like it extra spicy, you can add more jalapeño or even a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a splash of coconut water for an extra tropical vibe.
- •You could also blend in some spinach or kale for a green twist - it’ll be just as refreshing!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but it’ll still be tasty for a couple of days. Just remember to stir it before pouring yourself a glass!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! It’ll keep in the fridge for a couple of days. Just give it a stir before you serve since the chia seeds might settle.
