Étapes
Soak the chia seeds
In a jug or bowl, whisk the chia seeds into the milk until no clumps remain. Let it sit for about 10 minutes while you prep the mango; it will swell into a soft gel that's safe for little ones to swallow.
- 300 ml whole milk
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
✅ C'est prêt quand : mixture turns into a thick gel with no dry seeds visible
Prep the mango
Choose a mango that is fully ripe: it should smell sweet near the stem and give slightly when pressed, for natural sweetness without added sugar. Peel it, discard the pit, and chop the flesh into chunks.
- 2 (about 400 g) ripe mangoes
✅ C'est prêt quand : mango is peeled, pitted and cut into chunks
Blend until smooth

The Story Behind the Dish
The licuado — fruit blended with milk or water — is a staple of Mexican street stalls and home kitchens, born once electric blenders became common in households and juice bars in the mid-20th century. Mango, abundant and intensely sweet in Mexico's tropical states, became one of the most loved licuado flavours, often enjoyed at breakfast or as a refreshing snack.
Adding chia seeds is a modern touch that nods to an older Mexican tradition: chia has been eaten in Mexico since Aztec times, prized then as now for the energy and nutrients it provides.
⭐ Why It's Famous
It's loved for turning simple, everyday ingredients into a creamy, naturally sweet drink that both kids and adults ask for again and again.
💡 Fun Fact
Chia seeds were so valued by the Aztecs that they were sometimes used as a form of tribute payment, alongside corn and beans.
Mexico, especially the tropical mango-growing regions of Veracruz, Chiapas and the Yucatán Peninsula
