Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 banana, sliced (preferably frozen for extra creaminess)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (or store-bought)
Dairy and Milk Alternatives:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional for added creaminess)
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
Sweeteners and Extras:
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional for added sweetness)
- 1 handful of ice cubes (optional for a thicker smoothie)
Instructions
- Gather all fresh ingredients, ensuring ripe mango, soft banana, and chilled orange juice are ready for blending.
- Place mango chunks, banana slices, orange juice, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and ice cubes into a high-powered blender.
- Secure blender lid and pulse briefly to break down larger fruit pieces, then blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and uniform in texture.
- Pause blending and taste the mixture, evaluating its sweetness and consistency.
- If desired, add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup to enhance the natural fruit flavors, blending for an additional 10-15 seconds.
- Check the smoothie’s thickness, adding more almond milk if too dense or extra ice cubes if too thin.
- Pour the vibrant, creamy smoothie into chilled glasses, serving immediately to preserve maximum nutritional value and fresh taste.
- Optional: Garnish with a small mango slice or orange zest for an elegant presentation and extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- Swap dairy-free options like coconut or oat milk easily replace Greek yogurt for vegans or lactose-intolerant individuals.
- Freeze ripe mango and banana chunks beforehand to create an extra thick, frosty smoothie texture without adding extra ice.
- Customize nutrition by adding protein powder, chia seeds, or spinach for a power-packed morning boost without changing the delicious tropical flavor profile.
- Select fully ripe, sweet fruits for natural sweetness, reducing or eliminating need for additional honey or sweeteners.
