Ingredients

Mango Jelly

1.5 tsp gelatin
1/4 cup mango juice
1/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup mango puree
1 tbsp sugar optional

Mango Smoothie

3.5 cups frozen mango chunks see note
1 cup mango juice
2 cups ice 6oz
1/2 cup fresh mango cubes

Instructions

Make the mango jelly: sprinkle the gelatin on the mango juice and let bloom for 3-5 minutes then stir in the hot water. When the gelatin is dissolved, stir in the sugar, if using, then the mango puree. Pour into a small rectangular dish or container and let set, about 4 hours. When set, cut into small cubes.
Make the mango smoothie: Blend the frozen mango cubes with the juice and ice until smooth.
Assemble: Add some mango jelly to the bottom of a glass, then top with the mango smoothie and some fresh mango cubes. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

You can use store-bought frozen mango chunks as well but I find that fresh ones are almost always sweeter, so I peel, cube, and freeze fresh mangos specifically for this smoothie.
