Ingredients

To achieve that perfect velvet texture, use frozen fruit where possible.

  • 1 cup Frozen mango chunks

  • 1 large Ripe banana (sliced)

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

  • 3/4 cup Milk of choice (dairy, almond, or oat milk)

  • 1 tsp Honey or maple syrup (optional)

  • A splash of vanilla extract

  • Ice cubes (only if using fresh fruit instead of frozen)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Base: Start by pouring your liquid base (milk) into the blender first. Adding liquids before solids helps the blades spin freely and prevents the fruit from getting stuck at the bottom.

  2. Add the Fruit: Add the mango chunks and the sliced banana. If you want an extra-thick “smoothie bowl” consistency, use a frozen banana.

  3. Creaminess & Sweetness: Spoon in the Greek yogurt for a protein kick and a boost of probiotics. Add your sweetener and vanilla extract at this stage.

  4. Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no fruit chunks remain.

  5. Adjust: If the smoothie is too thick, add an extra splash of milk and pulse. If it’s too thin, add more frozen mango or a few ice cubes.

  6. Serve: Pour into a chilled glass. Top with fresh banana slices or diced mango, as seen in the image, for a beautiful finish.
