→ Liquids

02 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (canned or carton)
03 - ½ cup orange juice (optional, for a lighter texture)

→ Seeds

04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds

→ Sweetener (optional)

05 - 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (to taste)

06 - ½ cup ice cubes (omit if using frozen mango)

# Directions:

01 - Combine mango, coconut milk, orange juice (if using), chia seeds, sweetener, and ice in a blender.
02 - Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy.
03 - Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You don't even need to turn on the stove, but it tastes as decadent as dessert on vacation.
  • The chia seeds give it a subtle nutty crunch and leave you full for hours.
02 -
  • If you over-blend with the ice, it gets watery fast—pulse gently at the end for that perfect thickness.
  • Letting it rest for 2–3 minutes makes the chia work like magic, so don’t skip this step if you love a pudding-like texture.
03 -
  • Soak the chia seeds in coconut milk for 10 minutes before blending if you like ultra-thick, spoonable smoothies.
  • A pinch of sea salt lifts all the tropical flavors—try it just once, and you’ll see.
