Mango Smoothie
This Tropical Mango Smoothie is like a mini vacation in a glass — creamy, fruity, refreshing, and naturally sweet with the perfect tropical twist. It’s your new go-to for sunny mornings, post-workout fuel, or just when you need something golden and happy.
Equipment
- High-speed blender
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Citrus juicer optional but helpful
- Pretty glass or mason jar optional but cute!
Ingredients
The Star Players:
- 1 ½ cups frozen mango chunks frozen is KEY for that thick, creamy vibe
- ½ cup coconut milk canned is bomb, but carton works too
- ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt protein queen moment!
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup sweetness level: your call, babe
- ½ cup orange juice freshly squeezed if you're feeling fancy
- 1 tablespoon lime juice the secret pop of brightness!
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract because we're not basic
Optional Glow-Up Additions:
- ½ frozen banana for extra creaminess and natural sweetness
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds health queen vibes
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger if you like a tiny kick
- Handful of ice cubes if you want it extra frosty
Instructions
Prep Your Vibes (and Your Blender!)
- First things first — make sure your blender is clean and ready to work some magic.
- If your mango chunks are super frozen-solid, let them sit out for like 2 minutes. We want blendable, not blender-breaking, okay?
- I usually use this time to pick my favorite playlist and pretend I'm making smoothies at a beachside café. (Highly recommend if you wanna feel like a tropical goddess.)
Layer It Like a Pro
- Start with your liquids first — coconut milk and orange juice go in the blender.
- Then add your yogurt, honey, lime juice, and vanilla.
- Top it off with those gorgeous mango chunks (and banana if you're using it).
- Trust me on this order — it helps everything blend smoother and your blender will thank you!
Blend It Up, Baby
- Start on low speed and work your way up to high — we're not trying to wake the whole neighborhood, babe.
- Blend for about 60-90 seconds until it's all creamy, dreamy, and gorgeous.
- Stop and scrape down the sides if needed — sometimes those mango chunks like to play hide and seek.
Taste and Adjust (You're the Boss!)
- Give it a taste and see what your heart wants — more sweetness? Add honey. Want it tangier? Squeeze more lime. Too thick? Splash more coconut milk.
- This is YOUR smoothie moment, so make it exactly how you love it!
Serve It With Style
- Pour into your prettiest glass and maybe add a cute straw or a lime wedge on the rim.
- Snap that Insta pic because this golden beauty is definitely photo-worthy!
Notes
- Frozen mango = creamy texture. Using fresh mango? Add ice to thicken.
- No coconut milk? Sub with almond milk, oat milk, or even regular milk — just adjust sweetness.
- Want it vegan? Use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Make ahead tip: Blend everything except the ice, store in fridge, and re-blend quickly before serving.
- Add toppings like chia seeds, toasted coconut, or a sprinkle of granola for extra flair!
