Easy Mango Breakfast Treat
The moment

It's breakfast time, and you want a quick and healthy treat for you and your kids. You have frozen mango chunks but need a speedy way to make them edible without waiting for them to thaw.

What you need

  • Bag of frozen mango chunks
  • Three small bowls
  • Hot water from a kettle or tap

Do this

  1. Divide the frozen mango chunks evenly into three small bowls.
  2. Fill each bowl with enough hot water to cover the mango chunks.
  3. Let the mango soak for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Optional: If the mango chunks are not softened to your liking, drain the water and refill the bowls with fresh hot water.
  5. Drain the water from each bowl.
  6. Serve the softened mango chunks for a quick breakfast treat.

What changes

Your mango chunks will be thawed and slightly softened, just dump out the water and they’re ready to enjoy as a quick and healthy breakfast option with your kids.
