Oh yes, summer is here, and with it the cravings for delicious cold drinks! How about trying a delicious mangonada? it is a very traditional Mexican summer drink, and a great way to use Chamoy.

When it is summertime in Mexico, you know it is time for mangonadas! this traditional drink is also known as chamoyada, chamangos, diablitos, so you can say that this is a delicious recipe for chamoyada, chamango or diablito!

What is a mangonada?

It is basically iced mango with chamoy! traditionally, a lot of people use tajin to make it a little bit more spicy and tangy.

Since this drink has been created informally, and probably at the same time in many places around Mexico, it has been named differently (again chamoyada, chamangos, diablitos), but it is essentially the same drink!

I personally like to try it only with mango juice, because with iced mango you end with an -almost- diabetic comma afterward! and let’s not talk about what happens when you combine it with tequila or mezcal!

Anyway… if you want to use it in your summer party, trust me, everyone will love it and will be hooked for life!

It is also very common to use tamarind pulp for the recipe, or garnish it with tamarind! I did not have anything handy, so I used some a pulparindo!

We hope you like this recipe, it is:

• Sweet, summery, delicious!
• Mexican summer drink! call it mangonada, chamoyada, chamango!
• Amazing to make summer cocktails as well, just add some tequila or mezcal, be careful, the sweetness will make you think you haven’t drink much!
• An amazing way to use Chamoy!

Ingredients

• 40 g Jamaica flowers (or twice as much as you would normally put for 1 liter of jamaica water)
• 750 ml Water
• 500 ml Sparkling water
• Stevia for sweetening Optional

Instructions

• Rinse thoroughly the flowers

• Let them cool down
• Put the concentrated jamaica water in the fridge
• Mix with the sparkling water

Notes

• Calories are as always approximate, depends a lot on how much jamaica you actually put
• This needs to be concentrated jamaica water, so I have put twice as much jamaica flowers as I would normally put to make the drink
• The concentrated hibiscus water will last for about a week. Don’t mix it with the sparkling water until you are actually consuming it
• Instead of boiling the flowers, you can let them to infuse the water at room temperature to reduce acidity

Is it possible to have a healthy protein Nutella smoothie (without protein powder!)? Yes, it is, the main trick is to use cocoa powder, add a single date and some stevia drops to intensify the flavour of the smoothie! If you use soy milk, this smoothie has around 22 g of protein! and it is delicious!

If you do not care about adding protein powder, We strongly recommend Vivo life. It is one of the easiest and less “dusty” feeling protein.

If this is part of your breakfast, you may want to complement it with our delicious vegan pancake!

This smoothie is very “light” in calories due to the ingredients, if you need a much more dense smoothie, try this chocolate shake from Minimalist baker! It gets most of the protein from seeds/oats/nut butter!

Notes

• If you do not like protein shakes, you will love this smoothie
• The reason why we mix stevia with the date is to intensify the flavour of the date without adding more dates. Feel free to add one or two more to skip the stevia, but it will add an extra of 140 calories!
• The frozen fruit and chia tastes delicious in combination with the other ingredients
