Ingredients
Mangoes – You can use fresh or frozen mangoes to make this tropical smoothie recipe. I personally like to use the Indian variety of mangoes like Alphonso, Kesar, Dussheri, etc as they’re super juicy and flavorful. Having said that you can use any variety that is juicy and sweet.
Mexican varieties like Ataulfo, Manila, etc are also great.
Bananas make the smoothie thicker and give it a creamy texture.
Pineapple Juice – It is used to thin down the smoothie and give a tropical twist to it. You can replace it with other fruit juices like orange juice, apple juice, or coconut water.
Greek Yogurt – It is rich in protein and gives a nice tang to the smoothie. To make the smoothie dairy-free, use any plant-based yogurt.
You can use non-fat yogurt to make the smoothie healthier.
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.
How To Make Mango Magic Tropical Smoothie
Add
- 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
to a high-speed blender.
Tip – If the frozen fruits are too hard, then thaw them for 10 minutes for easy blending.
Blend until smooth.
If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, thin it down with some pineapple juice or milk.
Check for the sweetness and add more sweetener if needed.
Pour the smoothie into serving glasses and serve immediately. You can add a few ice cubes to the glasses as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use any type of yogurt you like.
I prefer to use plain Greek yogurt because it’s thicker and gives the smoothie a creamier texture, but feel free to 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) in place of yogurt.
If you have some leftover sorbet like pineapple sorbet, strawberry sorbet, orange sorbet, etc, you can use them in place of yogurt too.
Yes, you can add other fruits to this smoothie. I think it would be delicious with pineapple chunks, kiwis, passion fruits, strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
There are a few things you could add 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 seeds, flax seeds, or hemp seeds for some extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
– Nut butter like almond butter, peanut butter, pistachio butter, etc.
If you want to make this smoothie in a bowl, simply blend all of the ingredients together and then 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 really use any toppings you like though!
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy the smoothie chilled for the best taste. I like to add a few ice cubes to the glass just before serving.
You can serve it for breakfast or as an evening snack.
Add a scoop of protein powder and serve it as a pre or post-workout snack.
Storage Suggestions
This smoothie will last in the fridge for about 24 hours in an airtight container.
If you want to make this smoothie ahead of time, you can also freeze it. Just place all of the ingredients (except for the yogurt) in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months.
When you’re ready to drink it, just thaw the ingredients overnight in the fridge and blend them with yogurt in the morning.
