Ingredients & Substitutions
Frozen mango is a game-changer! If you can’t find it, fresh mango works too, but you might want to add some ice to get that creamy texture. And if you don’t have almond milk, oat or coconut milk are great alternatives too.
Tips & Notes
- •I find that letting the chia seeds soak in the almond milk for a few minutes before blending makes the shake even creamier.
- •If you want to make it a bit more filling, you can add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a tablespoon of hemp seeds for an extra protein boost.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I’ll throw in a splash of coconut water for a tropical twist.
Storage & Freezing
This shake is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed jar. Just give it a good shake before drinking, as it may separate a little.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?
Absolutely! Just add a handful of ice to keep it cool and refreshing.
Is matcha safe for everyone?
Most people can enjoy matcha, but if you're pregnant or have certain health conditions, it's best to check with your doctor.
