🧊 Shelf Life / Fridge Life
Refrigerated:
- Best quality: 2–3 days
- Maximum: up to 4 days when stored in an airtight container at ≤4°C / 40°F
Why this version has a moderate shelf life:
- Mango purée is fresh fruit and can ferment faster than spices or cocoa
- Coconut milk is stable but rich, so freshness depends on fruit quality
- Honey adds slight antimicrobial support but doesn’t fully preserve fruit
Best storage tips:
- Use fresh, ripe mango (not overripe or watery)
- Stir very well so the chia seeds hydrate evenly
- Store tightly sealed and refrigerated immediately
- Stir before serving to restore creaminess
- For longer freshness, add mango purée just before eating
Discard if you notice:
- Sour or fermented smell
- Bubbles or excess watery separation
- Off taste or discoloration
