Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • Frozen mango chunks (buy pre-cut bags or freeze your own)
  • Banana (fresh or frozen for extra creaminess)
  • Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla; dairy-free yogurt works too)
  • Milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut)
  • Orange juice or pineapple juice (optional for brightness)
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • Lime juice (fresh adds a clean, tropical finish)
  • Chia seeds or ground flax (optional fiber boost)
  • Protein powder (optional; vanilla pairs best)
  • Ice (only if needed to thicken, but usually not required)

Instructions

  • Pick your base: Use 1.5 to 2 cups of frozen mango as your main fruit. This gives you a thick, frosty texture.
  • Add creaminess: Blend in half a banana and 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt. For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt or skip yogurt and add a splash more milk.
  • Pour in liquid: Add 3/4 to 1 cup of milk of choice. Start with less, then add more to reach your preferred thickness.
  • Brighten the flavor: Add 2–3 tablespoons of orange or pineapple juice plus 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice for zing.
  • Sweeten if needed: Taste, then add 1–2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup if your mango isn’t very sweet.
  • Boost nutrition: Add 1 tablespoon chia or ground flax and a scoop of vanilla protein powder if you want extra fiber and protein.
  • Blend smart: Start on low to break up frozen fruit, then blend on high until silky. Scrape sides if needed. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk. If too thin, add more frozen mango.
  • Finish and serve: Taste and adjust lime or sweetener. Pour into a chilled glass. For a fun touch, sprinkle chia seeds or add a mango slice on the rim.
