Mangonada is a frozen mango treat with an infusion of bold flavors – it’s sweet, tangy, spicy, & delicious!! It’s Mexico’s favorite treat and you’ll love it too! It goes by many names such as Chamoyada, Mangoneada, Chamango, but they’re all the same!

About Mangonadas
There’s nothing better to enjoy on warm days like a Mangonada. The sweetness of the mango, the spicy kick you get from the chamoy and a little tart from the lime juice, makes for a fun & exotic treat.
In Mexico you can find them in almost every ice cream place or street vendors. Chamoyadas are becoming more popular in the U.S. and some places are starting to sell them. Luckily now you can make your own!
Why you’ll love this recipe

Ingredients
- Mangos – Use frozen from the grocery store or if using fresh, just chop and freeze them beforehand. Reserve one fresh mango to garnish the drink.
- Mango nectar – If nectar is not easily available, you can use juice as well. Another alternative is to use another tropical juice flavor like pineapple, guava or passion fruit. The combination of flavors will be amazing!
- Lime juice – You may need one or two limes depending how large and juicy your limes are. If you only have fresh lemons, you can use that instead.
- Chili lime seasoning – I use my homemade version but you can use a store bought brand like Tajín. Don’t skip this ingredient!
- Chamoy – I have a recipe where I show you how to make your own homemade Chamoy You can also find it in Latin stores.
- Tamarind Candy Straws – This a fun ingredient to garnish with! In Mexico we call them Tarugos. They may be hard to find locally in the U.S. but look in your Latin stores if you have one nearby. Luckily, they’re also sold online!
How to make Mangonada
Follow these easy steps to guarantee yours taste just like the originals back in Mexico:
Make the mixture
- Start by blending the frozen mango, the nectar, lime juice and some ice. If you’re adding some “piquete” (booze), add it at this point.
- Blend everything until it reaches a smoothie consistency.


Prepare The Cups
- On two small plates, add some chili lime powder to one and chamoy in the other.
- Grab your cup, dip the edge on the chamoy, then transfer to the chili lime powder plate to seal the chamoy on the cup.


Serve the Mangonada:
- Swirl some chamoy on the sides of the cup and a little bit to the bottom.
- Pour some Mangonada mixture in the cup, top with fresh mango chunks and sprinkle with chili lime powder. Add more chamoy on top, optional.

Garnish each glass with a tarugo (tamarind candy stick) which acts as the straw! If you don’t have tarugos then use a thick straw to enjoy this delicious Mexican treat!
The best part? Seeing how much everyone enjoys this drink!
“This Mangonada recipe turned out amazing! Just like the one I had in Mexico. I ended up making your chamoy too since I didn’t couldn’t find any at the store. i’m so glad I did since it was so much better! Thanks so much for the recipe… my family loved it over the weekend!”

Delicious. The spices give it a lovely zing. I blended it with ice to make a more slushy. Thank you for the recipe.
Seriously, the best authentic Mangonadas on the net! I can see everyone else copied yours but this is how I grew up eating them in Mexico. So good! Thanks for the recipe Ana!
if I went to the ice cream store closer to my house I would buy mango with chamyo and. Tajin also shared with my favorite WWE Superstar Smackdown Roman Reigns and his twin cousins Jimmy and Jey the same thing cause I know that Fruits and Vegetables can be lots of spices with Chamyo and tajin also not valentina sauce can be on. Popcorn my friends from People Care go crazy for valentina with popcorn and never stopped eating hot stuff but they,d just loved hot stuff The End
Way too sweet
Perhaps you added additional sugar? Or the juice you used was too sweet? Normally it would not be sweet at all!
