Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Fresh or frozen mango chunks
Apple, peeled and chopped
Plain or vanilla yogurt
Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
Ice cubes (optional, for a colder texture)
A pinch of cinnamon or ginger (optional, for added flavor)

Directions

I start by adding the mango chunks and chopped apple into a blender.
Then I pour in the yogurt and milk to help everything blend smoothly.
If I want a bit more sweetness, I add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
For an extra chilled smoothie, I toss in a few ice cubes.
I like adding a pinch of cinnamon or ginger for a warming note, especially in cooler months.
I blend everything until it’s smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
I pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 servings. It takes approximately 5 minutes to prepare from start to finish.

Variations

When I want to switch things up, I add a handful of spinach or kale for a green boost. Sometimes I throw in a banana for extra creaminess and natural sweetness. If I’m looking for a protein-packed version, I blend in a scoop of protein powder or some chia seeds. For a dairy-free option, I use almond milk and coconut yogurt.

Storage/reheating

I prefer to enjoy this smoothie fresh, but if I have leftovers, I store them in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I always give it a good shake or stir before drinking. I don’t reheat smoothies since they’re meant to be cold and refreshing. Mango Apple Smoothie

FAQs

How do I make this smoothie vegan?

I use plant-based yogurt and non-dairy milk like almond, soy, or oat. I also skip the honey and use maple syrup or dates if I want extra sweetness.

Can I use canned mango instead of fresh or frozen?

Yes, I can use canned mango, just make sure to drain any syrup and rinse if it’s too sweet. It blends well and gives a smooth texture.

Do I need to peel the apple?

I usually peel the apple to keep the texture extra smooth, but it’s totally fine to leave the skin on if I prefer more fiber.

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

I can make it a few hours in advance and keep it chilled in the fridge. Just remember to shake or stir before serving, as separation might occur.

What kind of yogurt works best?

I like using plain Greek yogurt for a thicker texture and more protein, but regular or plant-based yogurt also works well depending on my preference.
