Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 ripe fresh mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 2 tablespoons chamoy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (Tajín preferred)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup mango nectar or juice (optional for smoother consistency)
  • Pinch of salt or sugar (optional, to adjust taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango: Peel and chop the fresh mangoes into chunks, removing the pits. Using ripe mangoes ensures a smooth base and natural sweetness for the smoothie.
  2. Blend Mango and Liquids: Add the chopped mangoes, fresh lime juice, ice cubes, and optional mango nectar or juice to your blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the liquid amount to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Add the Chamoy and Chili Powder: Pour some chamoy sauce into the blender or drizzle it inside your serving glass for an authentic touch. Sprinkle chili powder either into the blender or on top after pouring to add the signature spicy twist.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie and adjust sweetness, tanginess, or spice by adding a pinch of salt, extra lime juice, or additional chili powder according to your preference.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour the Mangonada Smoothie into chilled glasses, garnish if desired, and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavors right away.

Notes

  • Use frozen mangoes as a substitute for fresh mangoes to achieve a thicker texture and enjoy year-round availability.
  • Start with a small amount of chili powder and build up slowly to balance the spicy and sweet flavors.
  • Blend liquids first, then add ice and mango for the smoothest texture while preserving your blender’s motor.
  • Keep serving glasses chilled in the freezer before pouring the smoothie to extend the cold temperature.
  • Adjust sweetness with sugar or honey depending on the mango variety to maintain natural fruit flavors.
