# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between silky smooth mango base and crunchy toasted almonds is something you will crave
  • It comes together in fifteen minutes but feels like a fancy café bowl
  • Perfect for those mornings when you want something substantial but not heavy
02 -
  • The chia seeds continue thickening the mixture as it sits so serve immediately if you prefer it thinner
  • Over blending can make the mixture warm which melts the frozen mango and changes the texture
  • The contrast of temperatures between the cold smoothie and room temperature toppings is part of what makes this special
03 -
  • Freeze your fresh mango cubes on a baking sheet first so they do not stick together
  • Toast a big batch of almonds on Sunday and store them for the whole week
  • Let the smoothie sit for two minutes after blending to let the chia seeds start working
