Ingredients

Frozen mango, Greek yogurt, fresh mint, and milk on beige and white gray surface
  • 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.

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.

2 Steps to Make This Simple Smoothie

Follow the two easy steps below to make these mango mint smoothies!

Frozen mango, milk, yogurt, and fresh mint in blender

Step 1: Start by placing your smoothie ingredients in a high-speed blender.

Step 2: Blend until completely smooth.

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.

Mango Smoothie FAQs

Can I make mango smoothies without dairy?

Yes! Use your favorite plant-based yogurt and milk to make these mango smoothies dairy-free.

Can I add juice to these mango smoothies?

Totally! I like to go with something with no added sugar, like a splash of freshly-squeezed orange or pineapple juice. For whatever liquid you decide to use, keep it to around one cup to maintain the smoothie's consistency (unless you're trying to thin it out).

What goes well in a mango smoothie?

Well, obviously mint, yogurt, and milk... 🙂 But seriously, mangoes go really well with many types of fruit. Strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, and bananas are a few of my favorites! Plant-based vanilla or coconut flavored protein powders are also delicious with mango. Lime juice, coconut, and ginger are also delicious as mango smoothie add-ins.

Can I make this smoothie ahead and store it?

Sure! If you want to make this ahead, you can pop it in the fridge in a tightly covered glass jar for a couple days before it starts getting a weird consistency. 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.

Top tip

If you ask me, frozen fruit is the ONLY way when it comes to smoothies! Some may like room temp or fruit from the fridge, but I think that frozen fruit keeps everything as cold, thick, and creamy as possible. We're going for milkshake consistency here, people! That said, feel free to adjust the consistency to your liking by adding more or less liquid.

More Smoothies?

If you're interested in more smoothies, I have a few other go-to recipes for you!

  • Mango turmeric ginger (for an anti-inflammatory boost)
  • Mango pineapple avocado protein smoothie (honestly tastes like Fruity Pebbles to me)
  • Berry vanilla protein smoothie (everything you love about berries and cream in a smoothie)

Description

This mango mint smoothie is protein-packed, incredibly refreshing, thick, and creamy! Enjoy as a quick and healthy breakfast, or a snack to cool you down on a hot day or post-workout.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 ½ cups frozen mango
  • 4-5 mint leaves
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¾ cup whole milk Greek yogurt


Instructions

  1. Combine. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend. Blend the ingredients until completely smooth. Serve with a fresh mint leaf garnish if you're feeling fancy!

Notes

  1. Consistency. Add more liquid to thin consistency, or more frozen mango to thicken consistency. You could also add a little bit of ice to thicken and ensure it's super cold. Adding too much ice can give it more of an icy texture and not as creamy, so I recommend only a couple cubes or ¼ cup of crushed ice at the most.
  2. Make it vegan. Use milk and yogurt that are plant-based! I love the brands Ripple and Not Milk for plant-based milks with a bit of protein. I also love Siggi's plant-based yogurts, but any kind will do.
  3. High protein. Choosing high protein milk and yogurt, whether it's plant-based or not, is the best way to get natural protein in this smoothie. You can also add your favorite protein powder (vanilla or unflavored would be best) or other protein boosters such as chia seeds, flax seeds, or hemp seeds.
