After a long day running errands in the heat, I needed something tropical — fast. I had mango chunks in the freezer and a can of coconut milk in the pantry. I blended them with lime, added some ice, and oh my goodness... it was creamy, cool, and completely satisfying without being heavy. Now it’s my favorite way to cool down and feel like I’m on a beach — even if I’m just in the backyard.

Mango Coconut Cooler

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen mango chunks

• ½ cup light coconut milk (shake well before using)

• Juice of ½ lime

• ½ cup cold water

• 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

• Ice (as needed, for texture)

• Lime wedge or mango slice, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Blend It Up: Add mango, coconut milk, lime juice, cold water, and sweetener (if using) to a blender. Blend until creamy and smooth.

2. Adjust Texture: Add a handful of ice for a frostier consistency, and blend again if desired.

3. Serve Cold: Pour into glasses and garnish with a lime wedge or mango slice.

 Sarah’s Tips:

• Want it extra indulgent? Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer flavor.

• Make it a smoothie bowl: reduce the water and top with granola and fresh fruit.

• Add a pinch of sea salt to bring out the natural sweetness!
