Why Sweet and Spicy?
Why is a sweet and spicy mangonada smoothie perfect for summer 2024?
For the past few years, “spicy” has been the descriptor that elevates any food. We all sought easy ways to bring flavor to homecooked meals at the start of the decade. Add hot sauce, spices, chiles, whatever you can to bring spice to everyday foods. And—hey—it's actually tasty. The spicy trend is here to stay, but it is evolving. Now, it is trendy to be swicy, a mix of sweet and spicy flavors.
Young people are turning to exciting swicy twists of their favorite foods and beverages, as well as unfamiliar international cuisines. Bold and unexpected flavors are dominating the demands of summer treats. This mangonada smoothie delivers swicy flavors with mango, a flavor becoming prominent in foods like ice cream and smoothies.
More Mangonada Variations
With the base ingredients of mango, chamoy, lime juice, and milk, you can bring mangonada to your favorite dishes. Create a thick yogurt, milk, and mango base for a mangonada bowl topped with tropical fruits like pineapple or orange. A mango ice cream topped with chamoy and sliced limes or used in a creamy, swicy milkshake is a great option for a hot summer day. Experiment with these base flavors to find your favorite summer treat.
