Easy Mango Smoothie Recipe

What can you do with one mango? If you know how to cut one, slice the mango into chunks and freeze it for this simple smoothie recipe. Or you can do what I did and use store-bought mango sorbet to make this recipe as easy as can be. 

All you will need to make this mango banana smoothie are 4 ingredients that you may already have. This is the perfect breakfast or snack! I love healthy breakfast smoothies, especially if they taste like a milkshake

ingredients in mango smoothie.

Ingredients Needed

  • Mango: You’ll want frozen mango chunks. Either purchase frozen or chop up a fresh mango and freeze it for 2 hours.
  • Milk: I replaced dairy milk with my favorite unsweetened almond milk since it gives everything an earthy flavor that I love. You must try these recipes with almond milk to see what I mean by earthy flavor; coffee cake, muffins, pancakes, and cupcakes
  • Banana: one ripe banana for extra sweetness. You can replace the banana with any fruit. I tried this healthy breakfast smoothie recipe with strawberries for a refreshing strawberry mango smoothie. 
  • Honey: to taste. Add more or less of what I did in this recipe.

How to make a mango smoothie

  1. Place frozen mango chunks and one ripe banana in the blender. 
  2. Add some honey to taste and milk to blend.
  3. Blend until you get a smooth and creamy texture. Be sure there are no frozen mango chunks in your smoothie. 
  4. Taste and add more honey as needed for the sweetness desired. 
  5. Pour into glasses and serve. I love to garnish this summer drink with whipped cream and a cherry on top.

  1. What an awesome idea this is, Dorothy, and it looks amazing! ย Mangos are a favorite of mine, and I love that you used almond milk!

  2. Yum! Can’t wait to try!! I love mangoes!!!

    Pampered Chef makes mango slicer – best money I’ve ever spent!! I’m usually not one for the fancy kitchen gadgets when they’re helping me do something I could easily do with standard tools / utensils. But I have to say, I’m absolutely terrified to cut mangoes, so this tool makes it super easy. Definitely worth spending a couple of bucks! ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. I loved Orange Julius when I was a kid, then all the locations around here closed and I would constantly lament how much I wished it was still around. Now there’s one just down the street from my house and I never go. I should just make this at home instead…

  4. Dorothy, this looks amazing! ย And can I just tell you how much I love mango?!?!? ย I could eat it by the poundful. ย Also, I LOVE Almond Breeze. ย When I cut out dairy to get pregnant, it was my go to! ย So so so good!

  5. I don’t mind cutting up fresh mangoes – I do that often for my daughter’s lunch – so I would use fresh in this smoothie. ย Great idea to do a variation of an Orange Julius (oh, memories of groups of us teenage girls at the mall)! ย Try squeezing lemon juice on fresh mango – it changes the taste, if you would like a change.
