Ingredients needed

• Milk: We typically use unsweetened almond or cashew milk because they are low in calories and fat, but feel free to use any milk (dairy-free or not) that you like.
• Yogurt: The addition of yogurt will make this smoothie super creamy. Use Greek yogurt for a boost of protein or dairy-free yogurt, if preferred.
• Mango: For convenience, we like to use frozen chunks of mango found in the frozen foods area of the grocery store. However, you’re more than welcome to use fresh mango.
• Banana: To naturally sweeten the smoothie, be sure to use a ripe banana with brown spots.

How to make this recipe

Expert Tips

• For a nice thick consistency, it’s best to use at least some frozen fruit. If using fresh mangos, use frozen banana slices. Alternatively, if you are using frozen mangos, you may use unfrozen bananas.
• If you will be cutting a fresh mango for this recipe, here’s a great tutorial for how to properly cut a mango.
• If the smoothie seems too thick, you can add more milk to get the blender going again.
• To blend, start with the blender on low speed, then gradually increase to high speed. This will help fully blend and incorporate all ingredients really well. End with the blender on low speed.

Frequently asked questions

Variations

Feel free to make this mango smoothie your own! Here are a few different options:

• Not a fan of bananas? Try adding about 1 cup of frozen cauliflower. You can’t taste the cauliflower, but it will make the smoothie extra thick.
• Increase your greens by adding a handful or two of baby spinach leaves. It will turn the smoothie a greenish color, but you won’t be able to taste the spinach.
• Feel free to add more fruit, like strawberries, pineapple, or cherries.
• Add an extra boost of nutrition. You can easily increase the nutrients by blending in a serving of protein powder, flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, or oats.
