Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 cups frozen mango chunks (or 2 fresh mangos if preferred)
- 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen, peeled and sliced)
Dairy & Liquid
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
Flavoring
- 1 Tbsp honey (or agave or preferred sweetener, adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp fresh lime juice (optional; can substitute lemon juice)
Instructions
- Add the ingredients: In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen or fresh mango chunks, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, milk, lime juice, and honey. If you are using fresh fruits instead of frozen, add a handful of ice cubes to achieve a colder and thicker smoothie texture.
- Blend on high: Blend the mixture on high speed for about 60 seconds until it becomes completely smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
- Taste and adjust: Sample your smoothie and add more lime juice if you want a brighter flavor, a splash of milk to thin out the smoothie if it’s too thick or stuck in the blender, or additional honey if the sweetness is insufficient due to less ripe fruit.
Notes
- Using frozen mango chunks and banana ensures a naturally chilled smoothie without needing ice, but fresh fruit is fine with added ice cubes.
- Almond milk or other plant-based milk can be substituted for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or your preferred sweetener.
- For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of protein powder or nut butter.
- The lime juice is optional but adds a nice zing to balance the sweetness.
