Tropical Mango Coconut Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups Frozen mango chunks (thawed slightly for easier blending)
-
½ cup Coconut milk (canned for extra creaminess, or carton for a lighter version)

½ cup Greek yogurt or plain yogurt

1 tbsp Honey (plus more for drizzling)
-
½ tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
-
Garnish: Toasted shredded coconut
Instructions
-
Combine: Add the mango, coconut milk, yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.

Blend: Pulse until completely smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut milk or water until you reach your desired consistency.

Taste: Give it a quick taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add another teaspoon of honey.
-
Serve: Pour into a tall glass.
-
Garnish: Sprinkle the top with toasted coconut and serve immediately while cold.
Pro Tips for the Best Result
-
The Mango: Using frozen mango gives it a thick, milkshake-like texture without needing ice, which can water down the flavor.
-
Toasting Coconut: To get that golden color seen in the photo, toss shredded coconut in a dry pan over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and brown.
-
Vegan Option: Swap the Greek yogurt for a coconut-based yogurt and use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey.
