How to make Sweet and Spicy Smoothie Recipe - During travels to Thailand, I loved snacking on fresh mango served with sweet and spicy red chili sauce. Upon my return, I wanted to capture the same flavors but in a nourishing and refreshing shake. This smoothie combines metabolism-revving Thai chili with succulent mango and sweet banana. All are blended with cooling coconut water and creamy coconut milk, which provide natural sugars and heart-healthy fats. Basil adds a savory and complex hint to this unexpectedly delicious smoothie.
Yield: approximately one 20-ounce (570 ml) smoothie
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (90 g) frozen mango chunks
1/4 medium avocado
1/4 thai red bird chili or 1/2 medium red jalapeño, seeds removed (to taste)
3 basil leaves, preferably thai basil
1/2 medium banana
1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut milk
3/4 cup (175 ml) coconut water
1 teaspoon shredded unsweetened coconut
Method:
In a blender, combine the mango, avocado, chili, Thai basil, banana, coconut milk, and coconut water.
Blend on high for 20 seconds or until smooth.
Transfer to a serving glass and sprinkle with shredded coconut. Enjoy immediately and sip slowly.
