Ingredients

*Scroll down to the recipe box for quantities.

Here is what you will need to make this mango banana smoothie:

Frozen mango: Use frozen for a thick texture.

Frozen banana: Using frozen banana is essential to create a smooth and creamy texture.

Coconut yogurt: Use unflavored coconut yogurt to not interfere with the flavor of this smoothie. Ensure vegan if desired.

Maple syrup: This is optional for added sweetness. If you find the smoothie sweet enough without it, simply omit the maple syrup.

Chia seeds: Chia seeds are great in smoothies as they provide added nutrients. They are a decent source of plant based protein and healthy fat.

Plant-based milk: I like to use oat milk or almond milk for this smoothie, but any other milk that doesn’t have an overpowering taste should work.

Tips

Use these tips to make sure that your mango banana smoothie turns out perfect!

Use frozen fruit – Using frozen fruit will ensure your smoothie is thick, creamy, smooth, and chilled.

Chop your banana before freezing – This tip is especially important for those who do not have a high-powered blender. I recommend chopping your banana into pieces before freezing so they will blend more easily.

Blend the chia seeds – I don’t like the texture of chia seeds mixed in liquid, so I recommend blending them right into the smoothie with all other ingredients. This will keep a smooth texture for your smoothie.

Drink immediately – Once your smoothie is completely blended, drink it immediately before it starts to thaw and thin out.

Adjustments and substitutions

You can leave out the chia seeds. Leaving them out will not change the taste of your mango banana smoothie.

You can leave out the maple syrup. This smoothie is plenty sweet without the maple syrup, so if you don’t want the added sweetness, simply omit the maple syrup. You can also substitute with another sweetener if desired.

You can substitute the coconut yogurt. If you would like to use a different kind of plain yogurt, that should work just fine. Keep in mind that if you use a flavored yogurt, it will of course affect the taste of the smoothie.

You can use any type of milk you’d like. I like using oat milk or almond milk, but any other milk that doesn’t have an overpowering taste should work just fine.
