Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 160kcal
- 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
Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. (If your blender has a tamper you may want to use it to help the smoothie blend evenly. Otherwise stop to stir with a spoon as needed.)
If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more milk to thin it out. Serve immediately.
- If using frozen mango and frozen banana, you may need to add a little extra milk (or your liquid of choice) to thin out the smoothie. If using fresh mango, use frozen banana to thicken the smoothie.
Recipe Variations:
- Dairy-Free: Omit the yogurt or use a dairy-free yogurt. Use nondairy milk, juice or coconut water for the liquid. Orange juice is a good choice, since the citrus complements the mango flavor.
- Strawberry Mango Smoothie: Add 1 cup of fresh or frozen strawberries. You will need to add additional liquid if using frozen strawberries.
- Mango Pineapple Smoothie: For a tropical smoothie, add 1 cup of fresh or frozen pineapple. Increase the liquid amount as needed.
- Carrot Mango Smoothie: If you have a high powered blender, try adding a chopped carrot to the smoothie. The carrot will add sweetness and will brighten the orange color.
- Add Cauliflower: Adding frozen cauliflower to a smoothie is an easy way to boost the nutrition without changing the flavor.
- No Banana: You can omit the banana and substitute other fruits as desired.
- Add Chia Seeds or Ground Flaxseed: This is an easy way to boost the fiber content of a smoothie. I recommend adding about 1 teaspoon of chia or flax.
- Spinach: Add one cup of loosely packed fresh spinach leaves. The spinach will give your smoothie a green color, but it won’t make your smoothie taste like spinach.
- Make it Sweeter: Blend in a teaspoon or two of honey or pure maple syrup. Or use orange juice or coconut water instead of milk for the liquid, or vanilla yogurt instead of plain yogurt.
- Add Vanilla: Add 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for an added touch of sweetness and subtle vanilla flavor.
