This Mango Chia Seed Breakfast Drink is a perfect way to quirk things up for the first meal of the day. Chia seeds are known for how healthy they are and this drink is a really fun, filling and refreshing way to consume them!
I'm hanging on to the last of those mangoes. With my dear life. Because I LOVE them plump beauties. Mangoes and I are BFFs. For the next one hundred and twenty six years and nothing can come between us. This Mango Chia Seed Breakfast Drink makes its way to our breakfast table at least three times a week these days. Because it's perfect. It's thick and smoothie-like so you can have big satisfying gulps, but it can also be spooned up if you have all the time in the world. I'm usually trying to make it to office at an embarrassingly late hour so this drink gets packed and ready to go in my favorite jar.
I usually pair it with Coconut Milk because coconut takes anything up a notch and mango and coconut were made for each other. Just like Mango and I. So what I'm essentially trying to say is Mango + Coconut + Me = Match made in heaven!
I guess that clears up any doubts that you may still have about how much I love this fruit. In case you missed it, please scroll up to the first paragraph again.
Pssst those are my mum's hands. She was my muse while I was in Raipur for a couple of weeks. Chia Seeds add some major crunch and a pudding like texture to this drink. While they taste great, they are also extremely healthy because of the Omega 3 Fatty Acids present in them. Together with a spoonful of honey, this is one breakfast dish/drink/smoothie-type that you are going to want make over and over again. Once mango season runs out, I'm going to try this with strawberries? blueberries? bananas? kiwi? I have a long list.
I'm giving you a simple proportion for this recipe that you can try with different combinations.
BTW, are you on Pinterest and can we be friends please? Follow me and let me know so that I can do too.

Akansha, 'sabja' is a great substitute. However you will definitely find Chia Seeds in either Foodhall or Godrej Natures Basket. I've seen them there.
