Best Mango Smoothie Recipe
This mango smoothie is the perfect blend of simplicity and flavor, offering a thick, creamy texture and natural sweetness in every sip. Made with just four ingredients — ripe mango, banana, a splash of milk, and ice — it comes together in minutes. You can customize it by adding Greek yogurt for extra creaminess, a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout boost, or chia seeds for added fiber. Whether enjoyed for breakfast or a midday pick-me-up, this smoothie is refreshing, energizing, and totally satisfying.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen mango pieces
- ½ medium banana
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk can substitute dairy milk or your milk of choice
Instructions
- Add all your ingredients to a blender and blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If your blender comes with a tamper tool, it can be helpful for pushing the ingredients down and ensuring everything blends evenly. If not, you might need to pause occasionally and give the mixture a quick stir with a spoon to keep things moving.
- If the smoothie turns out thicker than you’d like, simply pour in a little extra milk and blend again until you reach your preferred consistency. Once it's nice and smooth, pour it into a glass and enjoy right away for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
If you’re using both frozen mango and frozen banana, the smoothie may come out quite thick, so you might need to add a bit more milk or another liquid to help it blend smoothly. On the other hand, if you’re using fresh mango, try pairing it with frozen banana to keep the smoothie cold and give it a naturally thick and creamy texture.
To make a dairy-free version, simply leave out the yogurt or swap it with a plant-based alternative like coconut or almond yogurt. For the liquid, use a nondairy milk such as oat, almond, or soy, or opt for fruit juice like orange juice, which pairs especially well with mango’s tropical sweetness.
For a sweeter twist, you can replace the milk with orange juice or coconut water, both of which enhance the fruity flavors and add natural sweetness.
Feel free to get creative by blending in strawberries or pineapple for extra flavor variety. Just be sure to add a little more liquid if you’re using frozen fruit, as it will make the smoothie thicker.
