    • Lime - Juiced.
    • Chamoy sauce - You will find this usually in the Hispanic foods aisle of larger grocery stores.

    How to Make Mangonada

    Mangonada has several similar names. Sometime this spicy mango smoothie is referred to as Chamoyadas, Chamango, or Mango Chamoy. Whatever name you refer to it, I think you're going to love this delicious Mexican mangonada recipe!

    Prepare The Mangoes

    During mango season, it's cheaper to buy fresh, ripe mangoes than using frozen mango chunks. And, your mangonada will be even sweeter when using fresh, ripe fruit! Here's the trick to cutting mangoes:

    1. For fresh mangoes, slice lengthwise on each side of the hard, flat seed in the middle of the fruit, so you slice off fruit on either side of the seed.

    2. Score the mango flesh to the skin in a criss-cross pattern.

    3. Push on the skin side of the fruit, to pop out the cut fruit in the criss-cross pattern.

    4. Use a sharp knife and cut the chunks of mango fruit at the base, close to the mango skin.

    Rim the Magonada Glasses

    1. Dip the rims of your serving glasses in sweet and sour Chamoy sauce you've previously poured into a shallow plate or bowl.

    2. Dip the Chamoy rimmed glasses in the saucer of Tajin seasoning to create a nice salty-spicy rim on your glasses.

    3. Squirt a little drizzle of the Chamoy sauce inside the glass walls. Set glasses aside while your blend the Mangonada mixture.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serving a Mangonada for Cinco De Mayo is perfect! Since they are non alcoholic, everyone in the family or gathering can enjoy them.

    You can bump them up a bit by fortifying them with a little (¼ cup) tequila for Mangonada Margaritas, after the kids go to bed!
