Mango smoothie is one of our favorite ways to start the day. I love making smoothies because they are easy to make, delicious, and nutritious and there are so many flavor combinations. This simple smoothie recipe has just three ingredients: frozen bananas, frozen mangoes, and almond milk. Any type of sweet ripe mango will work for a smoothie. Simply dice the yellow-orange flesh into cubes and freeze hours before blending if you would like an ice-cold creamy drink. Some people prefer their drinks at room temperature and make smoothies from fresh fruit without freezing the fruit first. Whichever way you prefer your drink is up to you. I prefer mine frozen.

I buy mangoes in bulk when they are in season. Manilla mangoes are my favorite variety. Peel and freeze bananas six to eight hours before making your smoothie. Frozen bananas will keep for weeks in the freezer, but I prefer to use them within a day or two after peeling. Any sweet ripe banana will work – the riper, the sweeter, the better for smoothies. My basic recipe for mango smoothie is so simple. Just combine 3 frozen bananas, 3 big cups frozen mangoes (or whole package of frozen mangoes from Trader Joe’s), and 2 cups of vanilla almond milk. Combine the three ingredients in the blender, press start, and watch as the mixing magic happens. Making a banana mango smoothie in my Ninja blender.
You can experiment with the proportion of bananas to mangoes in this recipe to see which ratio you like best. Go heavy on the mangoes for a more orange and tart smoothie. Go heavy on the bananas for a creamier and more yellow version of this tasty beverage. This glass of mango smoothie is heavy on the banana making it creamier and more golden in color.
A simple way to make mango smoothie even more yummy is to add fresh ripe mangoes diced on top. Below I added some after filling the glasses half way and I added some more to the top. Add diced mango to your smoothie after blending to create texture in your drink.
