Mango Yogurt Smoothie Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 2)
2 cups fresh mango cubes (frozen also works for a thicker texture)
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened provides the most control over sugar)
1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, or soy all work well)
1/4 cup raw cashews (for topping and healthy fats)
1 tsp fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish and a touch of brightness)
Optional: A small drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness, though ripe mangoes are usually sweet enough on their own.
Instructions
Prep: Place the mango chunks, yogurt, and milk into a blender.
Blend: Blitz until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, add an extra splash of milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Garnish: Pour into glasses. Top with the chopped cashews and a sprig of fresh mint.
Serve: Enjoy immediately while chilled.
Why this is a great choice
Mango: Excellent source of Vitamin C and Vitamin A.
Greek Yogurt: Provides a satisfying amount of protein and gut-friendly probiotics.
Cashews: Add a lovely crunch and heart-healthy unsaturated fats, which help keep you fuller for longer.
To keep this as nutritious as possible, I recommend sticking to unsweetened yogurt to avoid unnecessary added sugars.
