Ingredients & Substitutions
Using ripe mango is key here – it should be sweet and fragrant! If you can’t find fresh mango, frozen works too; just let it thaw a bit before blending. Coconut water adds a lovely flavor, but if you prefer, plain water or even sparkling water can be a nice twist.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep fresh mint in a small jar of water on my kitchen counter; it stays fresh for days and is ready for when I want to whip up this cooler.
- •For an extra zing, you could add a small piece of fresh ginger when blending – it gives a lovely warmth to the drink!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I like to add a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost; you won’t even taste it, but you’ll get the nutrients!
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I’ll pour a splash of sparkling water on top just before serving for some fizz.
Storage & Freezing
This cooler is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to two days. Just give it a good stir before enjoying again – the flavors might settle a bit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can blend the mango and mint mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just add ice and stir before serving.
What if I don’t like coconut water?
No problem! Regular water or even almond milk can be great substitutes. Just adjust the sweetness accordingly.
