Ingredients

You only need four ingredients for this simple mango mint smoothie recipe! Because this recipe is made with Greek yogurt, it's essentially protein smoothie without protein powder. You can always add protein powder or add-ins if desired (more on that below!).

• Frozen mango chunks - I always have frozen mango in my freezer! They're super economical, delicious, and convenient. I typically buy the frozen mango from the freezer section at the store versus cutting and freezing fresh mangoes.
• Milk of choice - You can use regular or plant-based.
• Greek yogurt - For protein and creaminess. Whole milk Greek yogurt is my fave!
• Fresh mint - The key ingredient for a super refreshing flavor.

Instructions

Follow the two simple steps below to make these mango mint smoothies.

And you've got yourself a refreshing mango mint smoothie! Serve immediately with more fresh mint as a garnish if you're feeling fancy.

Hint: I love an ultra-thick smoothie, so my frozen-fruit-to-liquid ratio is typically about 1 cup liquid per 1 heaping cup of fruit.

Substitutions & Variations

Below are some substitutions and variations you can use to make this recipe work for you!

• Pineapple - Swap half the mango for frozen pineapple for more deliciously sweet tang, plus additional amazing pineapple nutrients!
• Greens - Throw in handful of spinach, kale, or your favorite greens for extra health benefits.
• Milk - I typically use a low sugar plant-based milk with high protein (if possible) or lactose-free dairy milk. You can use whatever milk works for your lifestyle!
• Yogurt - To make this smoothie completely plant-based, you can use a plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. I'm obsessed with Siggi's (both plant-based yogurt & non).
• Protein - There is no protein powder required for this smoothie, as you naturally get some protein from the Greek yogurt and/or milk. That said, you can add protein powder if desired. I recommend using an unflavored protein powder or something more neutral, such as vanilla. Other protein sources include hemp hearts, chia seeds, or flax seeds.

Equipment

Any blender will work, but I recommend one that is high-speed and can cut through frozen fruit like nobody's business.

Storage

This mango mint smoothie recipe serves one, so typically you won't need to store it. However, you can pop it in the fridge in a glass jar for up to a few days before it starts getting a weird consistency.

To freeze, you can put the entire smoothie in a glass jar in the freezer and thaw it out on the day you're ready to drink it. Sometimes I like to re-blend my smoothie while it's still partly frozen to freshen up the consistency a bit.

Alternatively, you can freeze the smooth in an ice cube tray. Once you're ready for your smoothie, blend up your smoothie cubes with a little bit of milk for thick and creamy results.
