Ingredients

• For the Smoothie:
• 1 large ripe mango, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup coconut milk (can use light or full-fat)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• For Garnish:
• Fresh mango slices
• Shredded coconut
• Mint leaves

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the cubed mango, coconut milk, chia seeds, honey or agave syrup (if using), and ice cubes.
2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. The chia seeds will add a slight texture, making the smoothie appealingly thick.
3. Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. Inhale the tropical aroma of mango and coconut as you pour!
4. Garnish with fresh mango slices, a sprinkle of shredded coconut, and a few mint leaves for a burst of color.
5. Serve immediately, and enjoy the refreshing, tropical flavors with your family.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have mango, frozen pineapple works wonderfully. Swap coconut milk with almond milk for a different nutty flavor.
• Serving Ideas: Serve in a chilled glass and add a fun, colorful straw for the kids to enjoy. This makes the drinking experience even more delightful!
• Occasion Adjustments: For a summer party, serve in hollowed-out coconut shells to make it extra special. It’s a fun way to impress guests and add a tropical touch to your gatherings.

Storage and Substitutions

• If you have leftover smoothie, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking as the chia seeds may cause it to thicken further.
• For dietary needs, you can substitute honey with maple syrup or skip the sweetener altogether if your mango is naturally sweet enough.
• Seasonal adjustment: In winter, use frozen mango chunks to keep that vibrant flavor when fresh mangoes are not in season.

This Mango Coconut Chia Smoothie pairs beautifully with a variety of light snacks and dishes:
