I was passing by Tropical Smoothie Cafe on my last US visit and decided to stop by for a quick smoothie. I chose their Mango Magic Smoothie, which was super delicious. But the dollars I had to spend on that glass motivated me enough to make it at home at a fraction of the cost.

The homemade smoothie was exactly the same as the one I had at the cafe. If you have frozen fruits at hand, you, too, can make this cafe style smoothies at home in no time. Do try this recipe.

About Mango Magic Smoothie

Mango Magic Tropical Smoothie is a delicious and refreshing way to start your day or have it as a snack! It is also a great drink to sip on if you are on a weight loss journey or to cool you down on a hot day.

The Mango Tropical Smoothie is creamy, thick, chilled, and loaded with fruity tropical flavor. It is also packed with fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. It is a great low-carb drink to sip on whenever you feel hungry.

Ingredients

Mango magic tropical smoothie ingredients.

Mangoes – You can use fresh or frozen mangoes to make this tropical smoothie recipe. I like to use the Indian variety of mangoes, such as Alphonso, Kesar, Dussheri, etc., as they’re super juicy and flavorful. However, you can use any juicy and sweet variety.

Mexican varieties like Ataulfo and Manila are also great.

Bananas make the smoothie thicker and give it a creamy texture.

Pineapple Juice thins the smoothie and gives it a tropical twist. You can replace it with other fruit juices, such as orange juice, apple juice, or coconut water. To make the smoothie even more mangoey, use mango nectar or mango juice to thin it down.

Greek Yogurt is rich in protein and adds a nice tang to the smoothie. To make the smoothie dairy-free, use any plant-based yogurt. like coconut yogurt, soy yogurt etc.

You can also use non-fat yogurt.

Honey – It gives a nice sweetness to the tropical mango smoothie. You can replace it with maple syrup or agave nectar (agave syrup) for a vegan option.

Brown rice syrup and date syrup are also great sweeteners. You can also use sugar-free substitutes like stevia and monk fruit.

You can also skip adding any sweetener to lessen your sugar intake. This customization is the best part I like about making recipes at home.

How To Make Mango Magic Tropical Smoothie

Freeze the fruits 4-5 hours in advance if you are not using already frozen fruits to make this smoothie recipe.

Add the following ingredients to a high-speed blender.

  • 2 cups of peeled, cubed, and frozen mango chunks
  • 1 large banana (peeled, sliced, and frozen)
  • 1 cup chilled pineapple juice
  • ½ cup chilled Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Tip – If the frozen fruits are too hard, then thaw them for 10 minutes for easy blending.

All the ingredients added to a blender.

Blend until smooth.

If the smoothie is too thick, thin it with pineapple juice, mango nectar, or milk.

Check for the sweetness and add more sweetener if needed.

Pour the smoothie into serving glasses and serve immediately. You can also add a few ice cubes to the glasses.

Ready mango magic tropical smoothie.

Recipe Tip

Use a heavy-duty blender for the best result. I used my professional Hamilton beach blender. Ninja blender is also a great investment for making amazing smoothies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of yogurt?

Yes, you can use any yogurt you like.

I prefer plain Greek yogurt because it’s thicker and gives the smoothie a creamier texture, but you can use regular yogurt, vanilla yogurt, or any vegan yogurt.

Flavored yogurt, like pineapple yogurt, peach yogurt, etc, also works fine.

You can also use milk (whole milk, oat milk, coconut milk, soy milk, etc.) instead of yogurt.

If you have leftover sorbet, such as pineapple, strawberry, or orange sorbet, you can also use it in place of yogurt.

Can I add other fruits to this smoothie?

Yes, you can add other fruits to this smoothie. It would be delicious with pineapple chunks, kiwis, passion fruits, strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.

What else can be added to the mango tropical smoothie?

You could add a few things to this tropical drink to give it a little extra boost.
– A handful of spinach or kale for some extra nutrients.
– A scoop of protein powder or whey protein for an extra energy boost.
– A tablespoon of chia, flax, or hemp seeds for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
– Nut butter like almond butter, peanut butter, pistachio butter, etc.

How to make a mango tropical smoothie bowl?

To make this smoothie in a bowl, blend all the ingredients and pour it into a bowl. Top with your favorite fruits, nuts, and seeds. I like to top mine with mangoes, bananas, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. You can use any toppings you like, though!

Storage Suggestions

You can store the smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving, as the smoothie may separate after some time.

You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw and serve. I like to freeze it in popsicle molds to make a fun snack for kids.
