Mango Smoothie Ingredients
- Mango: Frozen mango cubes are super convenient because you don’t have to peel and slice fresh mangos! But if you prefer using fresh mangos, you can use frozen banana slices instead of ripe ones.
- Banana: We used half of a banana, cut into slices, to add a creamy texture. If you want to use frozen banana slices, you can use fresh mangos.
- Juice: For the liquid, we used orange mango juice. You can add an equal amount of whatever juice or liquid you prefer. Keep in mind that whatever you choose will change the flavor of your mango smoothie. You could use orange juice, pineapple juice, or mango nectar. Or you could try milk, almond milk, or even water.
- Yogurt: We used vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt, but you can use regular vanilla yogurt or choose another flavor, such as mango or coconut.

Put orange mango juice, vanilla yogurt, and sliced bananas into the blender.
Add frozen mango cubes or slices. Alternatively, you can use fresh mango cubes and frozen banana slices.
