4.1 from 7 reviews

A quick and delicious mango smoothie recipe combining fresh or frozen mango and banana with creamy yogurt and milk to create a refreshing and nutritious beverage perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 12.5 oz mango (about 2 cups chopped, fresh or frozen)
  • 5.4 oz banana (1 large, fresh or frozen)

Dairy and Liquids

  • 1.5 cups milk (dairy or plant-based of choice)
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango: If using fresh mango, peel and dice the mango into chunks. This will make blending easier. For tips on cutting mango, refer to specialized guides if needed.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Blender: Place the milk and yogurt at the bottom of the blender first, then add the mango and banana on top. This setup helps the blending process, especially when using frozen fruit.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. This may take a couple of minutes if using frozen fruit. Be patient for the best texture.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass. Optionally, garnish with shredded coconut or other preferred toppings before enjoying.

Notes

  • Using frozen fruit makes the smoothie chilled and thick without needing ice.
  • You can substitute dairy milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives like almond or coconut milk for a vegan option.
  • Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
  • For extra nutrition, consider adding a handful of spinach or a scoop of protein powder.
  • The smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
