Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh, ripe mangoes for this recipe. If you can’t find them, frozen mango works well, too! Just make sure to thaw it before blending. Coconut water is hydrating and adds a lovely tropical flavor, but feel free to swap it with plain water or almond milk if you're looking for something different.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my chia seeds in a glass jar - they stay fresh for weeks and are easy to grab for smoothies or puddings.
- •If you like it really chilled, you can freeze some mango chunks ahead of time to use in place of ice.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost - you won’t even taste it!
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I’ll toss in a little ginger for a zingy kick.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover cooler in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a little shake before serving, as the chia seeds may settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
