How to Make a Mango Smoothie

Mango Smoothie – Recipe Notes:
- If you want a thicker mango smoothie, you can use two frozen bananas instead of one at room temperature. This way your smoothie will turn out more like a thick mango milk shake. I love to make this as a treat for hot summer days, but for breakfast I prefer using just one banana at room temperature.
- I used unsweetened soy yogurt for my mango smoothie, but it’s also great with coconut yogurt.
- The bananas and the mango make this smoothie sweet enough, so you don’t need any other kind of sweeteners. Also make sure to use unsweetened almond milk and plant-based yogurt.
- If you want to add even more fruits, I can recommend frozen pineapple or strawberries. It’s also great with a bit of fresh lime juice.
- Make sure you’re using a ripe mango for this smoothie. It should be soft and it should have a sweet smell. It helps to put the mango in a paper bag to speed up the ripening process.
Mango Smoothie Variations
Mango Pineapple Smoothie
For a real tropical version, you could also add some pineapple to your mango smoothie. I prefer to use frozen pineapple. I usually have a big back of mixed frozen fruit in my freezer, which is perfect for smoothies.
Just add one cup of frozen pineapple to the mango smoothie recipe.
Strawberry Mango Smoothie
Strawberries and mango are another great combination. You could either use fresh strawberries or frozen ones.
Add one cup of strawberries to the mango smoothie recipe.
Mango Smoothie – FAQs:
What’s the best blender to make a smoothie?
This is an easy question for me! I’m a smoothie addict and I absolutely love my Vitamix. I’ve had some other blenders before, but a Vitamix just makes the best smoothies by far. They turn out super smooth and creamy. No matter what fruits you put in, they always come out perfect.
So if you’re making a lot of smoothie or ice cream with frozen bananas, I would definitely invest in a good high speed blender. It’s money well spent!
How to tell when a mango is ripe:
It’s very important that you use a ripe mango for this smoothie. Sometimes it can be a bit tricky to tell if a mango is ripe or not.
Here are some great tips:
- Don’t fixate on the color of the mango. A red hue is not necessarily a sign that a mango is ripe. It just shows how much sun exposure the mango had.
- When the mango is ripe, it will have a strong and sweet smell.
- Gently squeeze the mango. It should be soft but not too soft (then it will be overripe).
- It helps to put the mango in a paper bag to speed up the ripening process.
