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.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

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

Notes

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 1/4 cup of crushed ice at the most.
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.
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.
