I remember the first time I made this drink on a hot summer day.
I was craving something refreshing and light, and the idea of mango and a little spice just felt so right.
It’s not just a drink; it's a mini celebration of flavors!
Plus, the chia seeds are like little powerhouses of nutrition, which always puts a smile on my face.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I really love using ripe mangoes for their natural sweetness and flavor. If you can’t find fresh mango, frozen works too—just let it thaw before blending. As for the jalapeño, start with a small amount if you're not used to spice; you can always add more!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to prep a big batch and keep it in the fridge; it stays fresh for a couple of days.
- •If you want a sweeter drink, just adjust the agave syrup to your taste.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a splash of coconut water for an extra tropical vibe.
- •You can also blend in some spinach or kale for a green version—it's surprisingly good!
Storage & Freezing
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good shake before serving since the chia seeds might settle at the bottom.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use another fruit instead of mango?
Absolutely! Pineapple or peach would be delightful substitutes. Just keep the sweetness in mind.
