Coconut Mango Boom (HeyTea Inspired Recipe)

0 comments

If you’ve ever had the Coconut Mango Boom from HeyTea, then you already know why people are obsessed with it. This refreshing mango drink combines sweet ripe mangoes, creamy coconut milk, chewy sago pearls, and fruity mango jellies into one incredibly satisfying beverage. It’s part smoothie, part boba drink, and part dessert, making it the perfect treat on a hot day.

What I love most about this drink is the combination of textures. You get the icy mango slush, the rich coconut cream, the chewy sago, and the juicy mango jellies all in one sip. Every layer brings something different to the drink, which is why it feels so much more exciting than a standard smoothie or fruit tea.

As much as I love stopping by HeyTea for a Coconut Mango Boom, I can’t always justify driving 30+ minutes, waiting in line, and spending $10 every time a craving hits. The good news is that it’s surprisingly easy to recreate at home with just a handful of ingredients. Not only does it taste incredibly close to the original, but you can customize the sweetness, load it up with extra toppings, and enjoy it whenever the craving strikes.

Ingredients

Sago

Sago

Small chewy pearls made from tapioca starch that add texture and make the drink extra satisfying.

Water

Used to cook the sago until translucent and chewy.


Coconut Cream Layer

Coconut Milk

Provides the creamy coconut flavor that makes this drink so rich and refreshing.

Condensed Milk

Sweetens the coconut layer while adding extra creaminess.


Toppings

Mango Jellies

Adds bursts of fruity mango flavor and texture throughout the drink.


Mango Slush

Ataulfo Mango

The star ingredient. Ataulfo mangoes are naturally sweet, creamy, and less fibrous, making them perfect for blending.

Green Tea

Adds subtle tea flavor and balances the sweetness of the mango.

Ice

Creates the signature thick and refreshing slush texture.

Sugar

Enhances the natural sweetness of the mangoes.

Substitutions

  • Use frozen mango chunks instead of fresh Ataulfo mangoes.
  • Substitute jasmine green tea for black tea.
  • Use coconut cream for an even richer coconut flavor.
  • Use boba pearls instead of sago.
  • Substitute aloe vera cubes for mango jellies.
  • Use honey or simple syrup in place of sugar.
