π Mango Banana Smoothie Recipe
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1 large or 2 small
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prep: If you are using fresh fruit instead of frozen, add Β½ cup of ice to ensure the smoothie is cold and thick.
-
Layer: Add the liquid to your blender first (this helps the blades move freely), followed by the yogurt, then the frozen mango and banana.
-
Blend: Start on the lowest setting and quickly increase to high. Blend for 45β60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible fruit chunks.
-
Check: If the smoothie is too thick to pour, add another splash of milk and pulse.
-
Serve: 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: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder (you may need an extra ΒΌ cup of liquid if you do this).
-
Green Version: Toss in a handful of fresh baby spinach; the mango and banana are sweet enough to hide the taste completely!
