Mango and chia seeds are both considered Super Foods, and for good reason. Mango packs a nutrient wallop while the chia seeds provide more Omega-3′s than flax seeds! How’s that for getting your day started on the right foot?
I really debated whether I should put this in the smoothie category, or the dessert category. It’s that good! It’s definitely a smoothie, but with the flavor of dessert. No arguments from Mini Chef on that one!

Nutritional Content
1 serving = 1/2 cup

I know 1/2 cup is a weird measurement for a smoothie, but the whole batch, for me, made 3 1/2 cups, so 1/2 cup was the easiest way to break it down.
