Mango Smoothie

Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings: 2 Servings
Course: Breakfast, Snack
Cuisine: International

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups  mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt 
  • 1 tablespoon  chia seeds
  • 1–2 teaspoons  honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon  vanilla extract
  • 4–6 ice cubes 

Method
 

  1. If you’re using fresh mango, peel it, slice it off the pit, and cut it into chunks.
  2. Pour the milk into the blender first. Add the yogurt next. Greek yogurt makes the smoothie thicker and adds protein.
  3. Add the mango chunks and the banana. If your mango is super ripe and sweet, you might not need any added sweetener at all. 
  4. Add chia seeds if you’re using them and vanilla extract if you want a smoother, softer flavor.
  5. Start blending on low speed for a few seconds, then increase to high. Blend for 30–60 seconds until the smoothie looks completely smooth.
  6. Pour into two glasses and serve right away. 

Notes

  • Protein boost: add a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder
  • Greens (quiet version): add a small handful of spinach (mango hides the flavor well)
  • Extra fiber: add 2 tablespoons rolled oats
  • Creamier texture: add ¼ avocado (sounds odd, tastes amazing)
  • Tropical twist: replace part of the milk with coconut milk
