Mango and Banana are peeled, chopped, and frozen for 3 to 4 hours before being used in the smoothie. Freezing the fruits gives the smoothie a thick, creamy texture. **Banana **- Choose a slightly overripe banana. It is sweeter and makes the smoothie creamier. **Mango** - Choose non-fibrous mangoes like Ataulfo, Kent, or Keitt. Indian mangoes like Alphanso and Kesar are also great options. If mangoes are not in season, then use frozen mango chunks. You can buy them in bulk from Costco or Whole Foods. Canned mango puree can also be substituted for mango chunks. This recipe can use one cup of unsweetened mango puree instead of frozen mangoes. **Yogurt And Milk** are added for extra creaminess and to adjust the smoothie's consistency. If vanilla yogurt is not available, you can use plain yogurt. Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract to give it a vanilla flavor. Greek yogurt can also be used in place of plain yogurt. I like to use whole milk to make the smoothie creamier, but you can also use skim milk. **Honey** is optional, but if you feel the mangoes are not sweet enough, add a little honey to adjust the sweetness to your taste. ## How To Make Mango And Banana Smoothie ### Preparations Start by preparing the fruits. Peel a large ripe and juicy mango and cut the flesh into cubes. Freeze the mango pieces for 3-4 hours. Peel a large banana and cut it into slices. Freeze the slices for 3-4 hours. ### Make The Smoothie Take the frozen mango and frozen banana out of the freezer and keep them on the counter for 10 minutes to thaw a little. Add the following ingredients to the medium jar of a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. - 1 cup frozen mango pieces - 1 large banana, peeled, sliced, and frozen - 3/4 cup vanilla yogurt - 1/2 cup milk - 2 tbsp honey ![All the ingredients added to a blender.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Mango-Banana-Smoothie-Step-1.jpg) If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk. Check for sweetness and add more honey if needed. Pour the smoothie into 2 serving tall glasses. Garnish with mango cubes and banana slices. For a pop of color, I like to garnish my smoothies with edible flowers. You can also add a few ice cubes to each glass. Serve chilled. ![Ready mango banana smoothie.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Mango-Banana-Smoothie-Step-2.jpg) ## Variations **Greens**: Adding a handful of spinach or kale to the blender will give your smoothie a boost without changing the flavor too much. **Nuts or seeds**: Add a tablespoon of your favorite nut or seed (almonds, cashews, pecans, chia seeds, hemp seeds, or flaxseeds). You can also add nut butter, such as almond, peanut, or cashew butter. **Berries**: Add some raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries to your smoothie for a pop of color. **Ginger**: A small piece of fresh ginger can add some zing to your smoothie. **Ice Cream**: To make it indulgent, add some mango or vanilla ice cream. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How to make a vegan mango and banana smoothie?** Substitute yogurt with vegan options such as coconut yogurt and soy yogurt to make it vegan. In place of regular dairy milk, use vegan milk options such as almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, soy milk, cashew milk, or other dairy-free milk. Milk can also be replaced with mango juice, orange juice, coconut water, mango nectar, or other fruit juices. Use agave nectar, maple syrup, or sugar in place of honey. **Can I make a banana mango smoothie bowl?** Yes, you can. Reduce the quantity of milk in the recipe and make a thicker smoothie. Pour the smoothie into a serving bowl and top with your favorite toppings. My favorites include mango slices, sliced bananas, coconut flakes, granola, roasted nuts (almonds, cashew nuts, pecans, walnuts), roasted seeds (flax seeds, hemp seeds, melon seeds), etc. ## Storage Suggestions Leftover smoothie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Shake well before serving. You can also freeze it for upto a month. Thaw, shake well and serve. ## You Might Also Like [![Mango Habanero Margarita is a unique take on the classic Margarita recipe where mangoes and habanero peppers are added to the classic recipe.
