Helpful Tips
For a creamier texture, you can substitute the coconut milk with yogurt. To add an extra kick, include a pinch of chia seeds in the blending process. Mango smoothie cubes can be stored in the freezer for up to one month, ensuring you have a quick, refreshing option on hand whenever you need it.
Pairings
These Mango Smoothie Cubes pair wonderfully with light, savory snacks such as cheese and crackers or almond-stuffed dates. For drinks, try combining the cubes with a splash of sparkling water or your favorite iced tea for a refreshing twist.
