Mangonada Origin
Mangonada originated in Mexico and remains a popular frozen street food enjoyed today. The main base consists of frozen mangoes or mango sorbet, chamoy, and Tajín. It is often enjoyed with a tamarind straw. While the exact origins are unknown, mangonadas have also become a popular sweet treat in the U.S. You can substitute mangoes with peaches to make a different version of the frozen treat.

Peach-nada Instructions

Drizzle chamoy inside your glass and swirl it around the sides.
Dip the rim of the glass into the chamoy, then into the Tajín to coat.
In a blender, combine frozen peaches, peach nectar, and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture into your prepared glass.

Peach-nada Tips
- Adjust the consistency as needed:
Add more peach nectar if the mixture is too thick, or more frozen peaches if it’s not thick enough. - Use ripe, frozen peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- To pick ripe peaches, gently squeeze them—if they give slightly, they’re ready. If they’re too firm, they’re not ripe yet; if too soft, they may be overripe.
- For a smoother drink, peel the peaches before freezing.
Ingredient Substitutions
Fresh peaches → Frozen peaches or canned peaches
If fresh peaches aren’t in season, frozen peaches work great and still give a strong peach flavor. Canned peaches can also be used. Just drain them well and reduce added sweetener.
Lemon juice → Lime juice or orange juice
Lemon juice gives brightness, but lime adds a slightly tangier kick. Orange juice will make it sweeter and more mellow.
Peach nectar (if used) → Peach juice or puree
If you don’t have peach nectar, peach juice or blended peach puree works well as a substitute.
