# Expert advice:

01 -
  • This bowl tastes like summer in every spoonful and nobody expects the chili to be that good with mango.
  • It's fast enough for a hectic weekday but pretty enough to show off on a brunch table.
02 -
  • Never blend warm fruit—you'll end up with soup and disappointment instead of a thick, chilly bowl.
  • The first time I used too much chili and nearly set my mouth on fire so now I add tiny pinches and taste between blends.
03 -
  • Use frozen mango for the main blend and fresh mango for topping—it’s all about the contrast.
  • Let your banana get really spotty for extra sweetness, and never skip on the fresh lime juice.
