Ingredients
Fruits
- 2 cups diced frozen mango, plus a few thawed cubes for garnish
- 1 small frozen banana
Dairy & Alternatives
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, or any milk, plus more as needed
- ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt*
Extras
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Fresh mint or basil leaves, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Gather all ingredients including frozen mango, frozen banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and fresh lime juice. Set aside a few thawed mango cubes and some fresh mint or basil leaves for garnish if using.
- Blend the smoothie: In a high-speed blender, combine frozen mango, frozen banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and lime juice. Blend until completely smooth, adding more almond milk gradually as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses. Garnish with the reserved thawed mango cubes and fresh mint or basil leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
Notes
- For a vegan mango smoothie, substitute the Greek yogurt with full-fat coconut milk. Freezing coconut milk in ice cube trays before blending makes the smoothie extra-thick and frosty.
- You can adjust the amount of almond milk to make the smoothie thicker or thinner based on preference.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor, but bottled lime juice can be a convenient alternative.
