Ingredients

Fruits

  • 2 cups diced frozen mango, plus a few thawed cubes for garnish
  • 1 small frozen banana

Liquids

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, or any milk, plus more as needed

Dairy

  • ½ cup whole milk Greek yogurt

Other

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Fresh mint or basil leaves, optional, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including frozen mango, frozen banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and fresh lime juice. Have a few mango cubes and mint or basil leaves ready for garnish if desired.
  2. Blend Smoothie: Place the frozen mango, frozen banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and lime juice into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary. Add additional almond milk a little at a time if the mixture is too thick to help it blend smoothly.
  3. Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into glasses. Top with the reserved mango cubes and garnish with fresh mint or basil leaves for a vibrant presentation. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use any type of milk you prefer, such as dairy or plant-based alternatives, to customize creaminess and flavor.
  • The Greek yogurt adds protein and a creamy texture; you can substitute with non-dairy yogurt to keep it dairy-free.
  • Adjust the thickness by adding more or less almond milk depending on your preference.
  • Fresh lime juice adds a bright, tangy note balancing the sweetness of the fruits.
  • For a colder smoothie without dilution, use well-frozen fruits and chilled milk.
