Description

This refreshing mango smoothie is a quick and delicious way to enjoy tropical flavors with a creamy texture. Made with frozen mango, banana, Greek yogurt, and a splash of lime juice, it’s perfect for a healthy breakfast or a nutritious snack.


Ingredients

Fruit

  • 2 cups diced frozen mango (plus a few thawed cubes for garnish)
  • 1 small frozen banana

Liquid

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk, plus more as needed)

Dairy

  • ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt

Other

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Fresh mint or basil leaves (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Gather 2 cups of diced frozen mango, 1 small frozen banana, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. Also, set aside a few thawed mango cubes and fresh mint or basil leaves if you plan to garnish.
  2. Blend smoothie: Place the frozen mango, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and lime juice into a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth, adding more almond milk as needed to achieve your preferred consistency.
  3. Serve and garnish: Pour the blended smoothie into glasses. Garnish with the thawed mango cubes and fresh mint or basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a thinner smoothie, add more almond milk gradually while blending.
  • Use any milk substitute or dairy milk if preferred; adjust liquid quantity accordingly.
  • Frozen fruit ensures a chilled smoothie without the need for ice, preserving flavor and texture.
  • Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein; for a dairy-free version, substitute with a plant-based yogurt.
  • If you like it sweeter, add a small amount of honey or maple syrup to the blender.
