Anyone else feeling just so-over the endless wintry-vibes? Word on the street is that it’s allegedly Spring already, and there are all manner of cutesy Spring colors and people (not in Maine) who are experiencing so-called “good weather.”

Meanwhile, it’s snowing like I’m in a giant, real-life snowglobe here. Ba-humbug!

Okay, enough of my… twitching.

Since I haven’t yet learned how to control the weather (still working on it–don’t give up on me!), I decided to do something a bit more reachable: make a smoothie!

So… how does this smoothie solve my twitching about the gloomy weather issues?

Well, friends, this smoothie is full of The Magical… The Sunny… and finally, The Smile-Inducing… Mangoes (ta-da!). Yep, mangoes with a capital ‘M.’ Anyone else just luuuurve this fruit? I mean, look at it, so happily sitting in this cup.

As a chocolate lover to the core, even I must admit that these magical mangoes rival even the pudding-iest pudding (not even sure what that means). Sometimes, you just need a bit of the tropics, even when it’s practically the ­­­Arctic you’re livin’ in. Amiright?

One taste of this Mango Chia Seed Smoothie and all of your cold-weather grumpiness just disappears.

And for those of you already enjoying warm sunbeams, hey—why not have the perfectly sweet and refreshing smoothie in hand as you walk through paradise (i.e. not a real-life snowglobe)?

And if you’re actually craving more of a scoopable mango vibe, you should most definitely try this 5-Minute Mango Sorbet from Perry’s Plate! It’s made with just 3 ingredients, and deliciously paleo, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free! 🙂

This Mango Chia Seed Smoothie is:

  • vegan, gluten free, dairy free
  • super easy to make
  • chockfull of the good stuff: mangoes, bananas and almond milk
  • filling thanks to these lovely chia seeds
  • refreshing and cool

One sip of this bad boy and you’ll be like, “um, am I in Barbados right now? I don’t remember winning this dream vacay!” Or, “How did I get so lucky? What sparkly fairy deigned to gift me this cup of sunny delight?” (Side note: anyone remember Sunny D?)

Alriiiight, by now you know that I fancy a light helping of dramaticism in my writing—but isn’t life more fun that way?

Take a sip of this Mango Chia Seed Smoothie and tell me you don’t feel better. 🙂 But not, because I want you to feel warm and happy. 😉

Description

Mango Chia Seed Smoothie: An easy recipe for a refreshing and delicious Mango Chia Seed Smoothie.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk, divided
  • 2 medium bananas, sliced and frozen
  • 2 cups frozen mango chunks

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, add chia seeds and ½ cup of almond milk. Give it a good whisk, until thoroughly combined. Cover and let set in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  2. Add bananas and the remaining 1 cup of almond milk to a blender. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as need.
  3. Add mangoes, blending until smooth.
  4. Take the chia seed mixture out of the fridge—it should have thickened to a gel-like consistency. Give it another good whisk. Using a rubber spatula or spoon, scrape the chia seed mixture out of the cup and into the blender. Blend until smooth.
  5. Pour into cups, and enjoy immediately!

    Hi there!

    Mangoes are the best. I can’t have banana’s, though. Is there any other fruit you would recommend in place of the bananas?

    Thanks!

    Love it! So simple, so creamy and so pretty! Definitely a smoothie that would bring happiness (=good weather) in my life 🙂
    Also I really like that it’s thick and pudding-y. I don’t really drink smoothies for breakfast, but I really enjoy them as a dessert. As a thick, creamy, luscious dessert. So this is just the perfect recipe for me!

    Oh, BTW please let me know if you learned to control the weather. And visit me then right away! No snow here, but rains like a motherf♥︎cker!

      Hehe. Glad you like the recipe, Evi. 🙂 When I was making it, I debated whether or not to thicken it further and make it a pudding. It’s like you read my mind!
      I will DEFINITELY let you know. Haha. Your comment made me laugh so hard! Loving the strategic placement of the heart. 😉 In the meantime, sending good, sunny vibes over to ya. xo

    I love mangoes!!!! I also keep a bag of the frozen chunks on hand all the time because I like to snack on them while they are still frozen. Can’t wait to make this smoothie so I can pretend that I am lounging on some island in 80 degree sunny weather…instead I’m in New Hampshire experiencing (almost) the same weather that you are. It’s supposed to snow here this Sunday and be cold as the dickens. #wintersucks

    This smoothie looks completely delicious, Demeter! I’ve been feeling under the weather the past few days and would love to sip on this right now!! Love chia seeds in smoothies, too. That add texture, fibre and a whole lot of goodness. I can just imagine myself right now drinking this and laying on a warm sandy beach somewhere 🙂 One can dream, right?! Have a great week girl!!

    Ohhh, Demeter. Back at it again with the delicious smoothies! I happen to love mango flavored anything. It’s my go-to flavor for Italian ices at Rita’s. The weather here is a “warm” 55 degrees here, and I haven’t tried chia seeds yet because I’m a texture freak and I’m afraid they’ll be weird. But I want to, very badly. Also, I remember sunny D. I haven’t had it in a dog’s age, but that’s a taste you can’t ever forget! I hope it warms up for you soon!

    Gotta be honest, I still have not tried chia seeds! But thanks to this post, that is changing really fast. Really rainy and cold in our neck of the woods. Of course it wasn’t even warm in Florida so obviously I end a mango smoothie to give me that tropical feeling. And just crank the fireplace, hope you’re having a great week.

    I wish I could play in the snow right now. It’s summer here. But what’s best about summer is mangoes are in season. They are everywhere! I can pick a fruit from my neighbor’s tree anytime lol!

    This smoothie is perfect! And… I know where to find chia seeds this time haha! Time to get my ninja chopper. Thanks for the recipe Demeter. Love it!

    The weather here has been wonky… like the past two days its been rainy and gloomy and making me feel all sorts of sad. But I guess I shouldn’t complain because you are stuck in a snow globe. 😉 Totally need some of this bright, cheery and beautiful smoothie deliciousness up in mah face! Mangoes truly are one of the best fruits and just looking at them makes me smile… so devouring them in smoothie form? Happy dance in my tummy! Love that you added a little chia seed loving to these too! Total perfection, my dear! Pinned! Cheers and good luck working on changing the weather! Let me know when you figure that out. 😉 <3 xoxo

    The weather has been so crazy here! It was 60 one day last week, then it snowed, then it rained, and now it’s in the 50s. I am definitely ready for spring and warmer weather that sticks around! This smoothie would definitely make me forget about the gloomy weather, too. I love the mango and chia seeds in here, Demeter! It sounds so refreshing and delicious. Definitely perfect for breakfast or a mid-morning snack!

    Hi Demeter, here in Rome it was beautiful and sooo warm… until yesterday. Today, easter monday, a holiday here and usually a day you go outdoor on a pic-nic, it is cloudy, rainy, wet and a bit cold. Your lovely, sunny, delicious Mango Chia seed Smoothie is perfect to cheer me up… I am so meteoropathic 😉 .
