🧾 Mango shake ingredients

We will use very simple ingredients to make a healthy mango smoothie, low in calories and full of flavor.

• Fresh or Frozen Mango: Provides a tropical sweetness and creamy texture, and it's packed with vitamins A and C, which are great for skin and immune health.
• Cinnamon: Adds a warm, spicy note that complements the sweetness of the mango and can help regulate blood sugar levels.
• Dates: These natural sweeteners are rich in fiber and essential minerals, offering a caramel-like depth that can enhance the smoothie's sweetness without refined sugars. You can use date paste instead.
• Frozen Banana: It gives the smoothie a thick, milkshake-like consistency and adds natural sweetness along with potassium, which is essential for muscle and nerve function.

Optionally add fresh mint for an extra fresh flavor to your mango banana smoothie.

🔪 Instructions

To make a mango smoothie, you can use fresh mango or frozen mangoes. Use a good quality blender so you can blend ice and frozen goods seamlessly.

Blend chopped mango, banana slices, pitted dates, ice-cold water, and pitted dates or date paste in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth and you reach the desired consistency (about 40 seconds).

Then, pour the smoothie into a tall glass and optionally garnish with mint leaves.

As a rule of thumb, you can make a fruit smoothie with frozen fruit without worrying about the nutrient loss because they are well-preserved.

In addition, frozen fruit is usually picked at the best moment of the ripening process of fruit.

If you go for fresh mangoes and bananas, peel them and cut them into chunks. Remember, you can also do this the night before or even days before and have them ready-made to save some minutes of your morning routine.

Frozen bananas will help achieve the creamy texture we are looking for, without adding Greek yogurt into your mango smoothie.

The same applies to using oatmeal in your smoothies, or overnight oats; Rolled oats help to thicken out your breakfast recipes.

📖 Variations

• Pineapple - make a banana mango pineapple smoothie by simply adding one cup of frozen pineapple chunks to make a fantastic smoothie full of tropical flavors. You can also simply replace water with pineapple juice.
• Richer - we decided to make a mango naked smoothie, but you can use your non-dairy milk of choice, such as almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk. Mango smoothies are naturally creamy, given the fantastic texture that mangoes have, but you can also add half a cup of your favorite dairy-free yogurt. Our favorite is coconut yogurt.
• Coconut - Instead of cold water, use the same quantity of light coconut milk to make a coconut mango smoothie.
• Green - to make a green mango smoothie, add one cup of fresh or frozen spinach to the blender. It won't affect the flavor because spinach is very mild, especially if using baby spinach.
• More antioxidants - add a tablespoon of chia seeds; it will be a thicker smoothie as chia seeds will jellify.
• Sweetness - this healthy drink already has all the sweetness from frozen bananas and mangoes, but if you have a sweet tooth, you can naturally sweeten it with a tablespoon of maple syrup. Another option is to replace the water with orange juice. It will also taste amazing.
• Make a Mango Protein Smoothie - add protein powder to raise the protein content. We like using the clean protein powder (affiliate link) (affiliate) from complement because it only used clean plant-based organic sources and makes smoothies super creamy.

🤔 How to make a smoothie thicker

A thick smoothie can be a delicious and satisfying treat, but getting a perfect consistency can be a challenge. If your smoothie is too thin, you may want to add a thickening agent to give it some body.

However, adding too much can make your smoothie unpalatable, so it's important to find the right balance. One way to thicken a smoothie is to add a frozen ingredient, such as bananas or berries.

Another option is to use ice cubes made from juice or coconut water. You can also add dairy-free yogurt, oatmeal, chia seeds, or avocados for an extra boost of thickness. With a little experimentation, you'll be able to find the perfect ingredients to create a smoothie that's just the right consistency for you.
