Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks
- 1 banana, sliced (preferably frozen for extra creaminess)
Liquids
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (or store-bought)
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for added creaminess)
Sweeteners and Extras
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional for added sweetness)
- A handful of ice cubes (optional for a thicker smoothie)
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Gather and prepare your fruit. If using fresh mango, cut it into chunks. For best creaminess, freeze sliced banana for at least 2-3 hours before blending.
- Add liquids to blender: Pour the orange juice into the blender first, followed by the Greek yogurt if you choose to include it. This helps create a smooth blending process.
- Combine fruits and milk: Add the mango chunks, frozen banana slices, and almond milk to the blender, layering them evenly over the liquids.
- Include optional ingredients: Add honey or agave syrup for extra sweetness if desired. Toss in a handful of ice cubes to thicken the smoothie to your preferred consistency.
- Blend until smooth: Start blending on low speed, then gradually increase to high, blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Check the consistency and add more milk or ice as needed. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately for best freshness.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, omit Greek yogurt and use plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
- Freezing the banana slices ahead of time results in a thicker, creamier smoothie.
- Adjust the sweetness based on the ripeness of the fruits and your taste preference.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately to retain its fresh flavor and texture.
- You can add a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds for added nutrition.
