Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prep: If you are using fresh fruit instead of frozen, add ½ cup of ice to ensure the smoothie is cold and thick.
-
Layer:Â Add the liquid to your blender first (this helps the blades move freely), followed by the yogurt, then the frozen mango and banana.
-
Blend:Â Start on the lowest setting and quickly increase to high. Blend for 45â60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible fruit chunks.
-
Check:Â If the smoothie is too thick to pour, add another splash of milk and pulse.
-
Serve:Â Pour into a glass jar. To match the photo, serve it with a gold or metal straw and place a few fresh banana slices and mango cubes on the side.
Quick Customizations
-
Tropical Twist: Swap the milk for pineapple juice or coconut water.
-
Protein Boost:Â Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder (you may need an extra Âź cup of liquid if you do this).
-
Green Version:Â Toss in a handful of fresh baby spinach; the mango and banana are sweet enough to hide the taste completely!
