What is a mango smoothie made of?

This mango smoothie is made with banana, coconut yogurt, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Read the full list below for details on each ingredient.

• Mango: Mangoes provide several health benefits and they are loaded with nutrients. In particular, this tropical fruit is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and beta-carotenes.
• Banana: Be sure to use frozen bananas for an ice cold smoothie. Don’t forget to remove the peels before freezing them. Bananas are a great source of various essential nutrients, including vitamin B6, potassium, and magnesium.
• Coconut yogurt: This dairy-free yogurt provides a thick and creamy consistency. If you don’t want to use all fruit for your smoothies, yogurt is a low-sugar way to bulk up any recipe. Other options include almond milk yogurt, soy milk yogurt, and oat milk yogurt. If you can consume dairy, regular yogurt will work too.
• Coconut milk: I recommend using coconut milk, but other plant-based milk alternatives will work just as well. Again, if you aren’t dairy-free, feel free to use regular milk.
• Maple syrup: Real maple syrup is an easy way to sweeten the smoothie without adding refined sugar. Most people will find the beverage plenty sweet without this ingredient, so it is entirely optional.
• Vanilla extract: Add a dash for a subtle vanilla flavor. Alternatively, reduce the number of ingredients (or save money!) by using a vanilla-flavored yogurt.

What to add to smoothies

Browse the list of smoothie add-ins below and discover your favorite.

• Greens: Leafy greens are a nutritious way to increase the fiber content of your smoothies. The best options include spinach, kale, and arugula. Don’t worry, adding greens will not cause your smoothie to taste like grass! Since this recipe contains sweet fruits, like banana and mango, the greens are easily hidden. Spinach is the best choice because it’s completely flavorless.
• Protein powder: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to make it a protein smoothie. This is a good idea if you’re enjoying the beverage as post-workout fuel or trying to build muscle.
• Seeds: Hemp seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds provide omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. I prefer adding healthy fats through seeds instead of nut butter for this particular smoothie recipe. In my opinion, nut butter pairs better with berry smoothies.
• Lemon: Lemon juice adds a fresh flavor and subtle tartness.
• Turmeric: This ingredient provides powerful anti-inflammatory benefits. You can add fresh turmeric or turmeric powder.
• Avocado: Avocado’s mild flavor and creamy texture makes it a perfect add-in for pretty much any smoothie. If you want to increase your intake of healthy fats, simply add half an avocado to the blender along with the other ingredients.
• Ginger: Add a ½-inch cube of fresh ginger for its immune boosting properties.

Tips for the best mango banana yogurt smoothie

Use frozen fruit. If you are looking to quench your thirst with a truly refreshing beverage, frozen fruit is better than fresh fruit. The cold temperature will create a chilled smoothie with a thick consistency.

Adjust the liquid as needed. You may need to adjust the amount of coconut milk to get your desired consistency. If you are using all frozen fruit, add more. On the contrary, use less if you are using all fresh fruit.

Use your favorite yogurt. If you prefer almond milk yogurt over coconut yogurt (or another variety), feel free to swap the ingredients.
