frozen mango chunks
ripe banana
milk (dairy or plant-based)
Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
honey or maple syrup (optional)
ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)

Directions

I add the mango, banana, yogurt, and milk to a blender.
I blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
I taste and add honey or maple syrup if I want extra sweetness.
For a thicker texture, I add a few ice cubes and blend again.
I pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 large or 2 small servings. It takes about 5 minutes from start to finish — just blend and go.

Variations

I use orange juice instead of milk for a tangier, fruitier smoothie.
To boost protein, I add a scoop of protein powder or more Greek yogurt.
I sometimes blend in spinach or kale for a green version that still tastes fruity.
For a smoothie bowl, I use less liquid and top it with granola, coconut flakes, and more fruit.

Storage/Reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. If I need to store it, I keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I shake or stir it before drinking, as it may separate. I don’t reheat it — this one’s meant to be cold and refreshing. Mango Banana Smoothie

FAQs

Can I use fresh mango and banana?

Yes, I can use fresh fruit, but I usually freeze the banana or mango ahead of time to get that thick, cold texture without adding ice.

Is this smoothie dairy-free?

It can be. I use almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk, and a dairy-free yogurt to keep it 100% plant-based.

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

I can prep the ingredients in a freezer bag and store them in the freezer. When I’m ready, I just dump everything into the blender with some liquid.

How do I make it thicker?

Using frozen fruit, Greek yogurt, and less liquid helps. I also add ice cubes or chia seeds to thicken it even more.

Is this smoothie good for kids?

Definitely. It’s naturally sweet and creamy, and I often make smaller portions for a quick, healthy snack.

Conclusion

Mango Banana Smoothie is a simple, delicious way to enjoy fresh fruit in a creamy, drinkable form. I love how quick it is to make, how flexible the ingredients are, and how good it tastes every single time. Whether I’m fueling up for the day or winding down with something cool, this smoothie is always a great choice.
