liz’s tip for healthy mango smoothie
- To select a ripe mango, look for a mango that is slightly soft to the touch. It should almost feel like you’re pressing into the skin on the palm of your hand. Firm, but a little bit of give to it! Make sure it is not too mushy because it could be bad inside.
Ingredients
Substitutions
Fruit– Mango mixes well with pretty much any fruit. We like to mix it with pineapple, strawberry or banana best but it will go well with most fruits.
Frozen Fruit– You can substitute frozen fruit for fresh fruit. Substitute 1:1. Use fresh mango if you like a thinner smoothie and frozen mango chunks if you like a thicker smoothie.
Yogurt– Nonfat plain greek yogurt is a great way to add protein and richness to smoothies for a low amount of calories. You can substitute with dairy free yogurt or full fat yogurt. You can also skip the greek yogurt, but may need a little bit more milk.
Milk– Any milk will work in this recipe. Almond milk, Dairy milk, coconut milk, or other non dairy milks will all work.
Protein Powder– Protein powder isn’t necessary but it is recommended for this recipe. The added protein will help keep you full, rather than this just being blended fruit (sugar and carbs). Any protein powder will work. This is our favorite protein powder.
Other Add Ins– Feel free to add in other nuts or seeds to this recipe. Chia or flax seeds would make a great addition!
Greens– We love to add a handful of spinach or kale to this recipe. You can’t taste it and it’s delicious. You can also try our Protein Green Smoothie.
Frozen Cauliflower– Frozen cauliflower is relatively tasteless and helps thicken smoothies. It’s also a great way to add in sneaky veggies, and you can always just keep a bag in your freezer. 1/4 cup cauliflower rice will blend nicely in this recipe.

This smoothie is seriously SO rich and creamy. You have to try it!
How Do You Thicken a Smoothie?
There are a few ways to thicken a smoothie. Make sure to use frozen fruit and cold ingredients. Ingredients like yogurt can also help to thicken a smoothie.
If your smoothie comes out thin, you might have added too much liquid. You can add more frozen fruit to make it thicker.
Should You Use Fresh or Frozen Mango?
You can use fresh or frozen mango in a smoothie. Fresh mango will result in a thinner smoothie, but the flavor will be the same.
I personally prefer frozen mango. It keeps for much longer and it is often cheaper than buying/cutting fresh mango!
Best Blender for Smoothies:
Any blender will work for smoothies.
Our favorite blender is the Nutribullet. It’s under $50 and works amazing! Here’s a link to the one we have.
We also love our Vitamix, but it’s much more expensive. Here’s a link to the one we have.
