I love making refreshing vegan smoothies for summer, like my Blueberry Pineapple Smoothie, Banana Peach Smoothie, or Chocolate Cherry Smoothie. I’ve mastered the recipe to find the perfect fruit balance and included a bunch of tips to get the ideal smoothie texture you know and love.
Ingredients and Substitutions
To make the best mango smoothie, with a thick texture, that is easy to drink from a glass or straw you need:
- Frozen Mango Chunks – You can also use fresh mango, but it might be more expensive in your grocery store.
- Ripe Banana – Fresh, not frozen or the mango smoothie would be too thick to drink with a straw.
- Dairy-Free Coconut Yogurt – Use a vegan unsweetened yogurt made with only 2 ingredients: coconut cream and probiotics. If you can’t find this in your store, replace it with the dairy-free yogurt you like. The coconut flavor is a must!
- Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk – Mango smoothies with almond milk are lighter in flavor, and if you can find the unsweetened vanilla almond milk in-store, it will add a fantastic hint of vanilla to your drink.
How To Make A Mango Smoothie
It is absolutely easy to make a mango smoothie at home even if it is not mango season. To make an ultra-thick, creamy mango smoothie you need to use frozen mango.
Since you can easily find frozen mango in the frozen aisle of many grocery stores, you will be able to make a frozen mango smoothie at any time of the year.
Then, you need a fresh ripe banana to enhance the sweetness and balance the light acidity of mango. Of course, you can use frozen bananas too, but if you do, this will result in more in a mango smoothie bowl. It will be thicker, close to mango whip, and not easy to drink in a glass.
Finally, the secret ingredients that make the best mango smoothie are a combination of dairy-free coconut yogurt and unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
The combination of thick dairy-free coconut yogurt adds some creamy texture, and vanilla brings out all the mango flavors.
Tips For a Perfect Smoothie
This vegan mango smoothie won’t be the same without the addition of dairy-free coconut yogurt. In fact, coconut yogurt is a healthy vegan yogurt made with only 2 natural ingredients: fresh coconut cream and probiotics.
This secret ingredient not only adds creaminess but also a delicious coconut flavor that makes the most delicious mango coconut smoothie. If you are a true coconut lover, you can enhance the coconut flavor of this smoothie by replacing almond milk with coconut milk!
Nutritional Boosts
There are many options to boost this east mango smoothie recipe with healthy twists. Spices are the best way to add anti-inflammatory properties to smoothies, delicious flavors, and no extra calories.
The other mango smoothie versions you can create are:
- Mango Turmeric Smoothie – Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. Add 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder into the blender and create an amazing immune booster smoothie.
- Mango Ginger Smoothie – Ginger is great to settle the stomach and calm indigestion. Therefore, mango ginger smoothies are great re-hydrating drinks if your tummy feels a bit unwell. Simply add 0.5 cm of fresh, peeled grated ginger to the drink!
- Mango Spinach Smoothie – Spinach is full of vitamins, magnesium, and potassium and is tasteless in smoothies so why not add 1/2 cup of fresh baby spinach to the mix to help you reach your 5-a-day!
