Summer Is Here,
Today I got up earlier than usual, and something felt different in the kitchen. Looking out the window, I noticed the tree with its bright green leaves has shed them. Now bare branches with tiny new leaves gently swaying, which made the morning really pretty. Suddenly, a bird perched on a branch, seeming to enjoy the scene just as I was. And it hit me, time had passed so quickly, the season has changed and I didn’t even notice. Wishing I were a bird, free from worries, making my own path and flying high. Living in the moment and appreciating nature, without thinking about the future. How surreal this sounds?
Coming back to my usual routine, change in season has brought the ‘king of fruits’ with it – the mango. Bright yellow, freshly picked from farms, sweet, juicy, and come in lots of different types, mangoes are essence of summer. You can find mangoes everywhere in the markets around where I live. I enjoy eating mangoes just as they are, but I also love to explore different ways to relish them. This year, I’m excited to try some new recipes. Recipes I’ve saved and bookmarked from magazines, blogs and social media.
One simple and extremely flavorful recipe, which captures the true essence of summers is Mango Colada. With just a few simple ingredients, transport yourself to a sunny paradise with each delicious sip.
What Is Colada?
“Colada” typically refers to a type of beverage that originated in Latin America, particularly in countries like Cuba and Puerto Rico. It’s often associated with tropical flavors and is characterized by its creamy texture and sweet taste. The classic colada, known as Piña Colada, is made with rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice, blended with ice. However, variations exist, including non-alcoholic versions like mango pina colada. These variations often retain the creamy and tropical elements but without alcohol.

Notes
To make the best non-alcoholic Mango Colada, follow these tips:
- Choose Ripe Mangoes: Go for ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor. Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a fragrant aroma.
- Use Coconut Milk: For a creamy texture, use coconut milk instead of coconut water. It adds richness and depth to the drink. You can use either canned coconut milk or the refrigerated carton variety.
- Balance Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness of your Mango Colada to suit your taste. If your mangoes are very sweet, you may not need to add much additional sweetener. Taste as you go and adjust accordingly.
- Blend with Ice: To achieve the perfect slushy consistency, blend your mango mixture with plenty of ice until smooth and creamy. Start with less ice and add more as needed to reach your desired thickness.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your Mango Colada with fun garnishes like a slice of fresh mango, a sprig of mint, or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top. Not only do they add visual appeal, but they also enhance the overall flavor experience.
- Experiment with Add-Ins: Get creative with your Mango Colada by adding other fruits like banana, orange for extra flavor dimension. You can also incorporate a splash of fruit juice such as orange or kiwi for added complexity.
- Serve Chilled: For the ultimate refreshing experience, serve your non-alcoholic Mango Colada chilled. You can chill the glasses in the freezer beforehand or serve over ice for an extra frosty treat.
