Tropical Avocado & Mango Cream Smoothie

Tropical Avocado & Mango Cream Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1 large glass

Ingredients

• 1 cup Frozen mango chunks (plus a few fresh ones for topping)

• 1/2 Ripe avocado (makes it ultra-creamy)

• 1/2 Frozen banana (for sweetness and texture)

• 1 cup Coconut milk or Almond milk (shown in the carafe in your photo)

• 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice (adds a necessary “zing”)

• 1 tsp Honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on fruit ripeness)

• Garnish: 1 Lime wheel and extra mango cubes

Instructions

1. Layer the Liquid: Pour your milk of choice into the blender first. This helps the blades move freely.

2. Add the Solids: Add the avocado, frozen mango, and banana. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice.

3. Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the texture is completely velvety.

4. Adjust: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it colder, add a handful of ice and pulse.

5. Assemble: Pour into a glass mug. Top with fresh mango chunks and slide a lime wheel onto the rim just like in your picture.

Why This Combo Works

• Avocado: Provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and acts as a natural thickener.

• Lime: The acidity cuts through the richness of the avocado and mango, brightening the whole flavor profile.

• Banana: Using it frozen replaces the need for ice, ensuring your smoothie isn’t “watered down.”

Pro Tip: If you want an extra protein boost, a scoop of vanilla collagen or pea protein blends seamlessly into these tropical flavors.
