Ingredients
Instructions
- Grab your blender. Dust it off if it’s been a while. We’re about to put it to work.
- Add the mango. Frozen or fresh, just make sure it’s ripe. No one wants a bland smoothie.
- Dump in the yogurt. Greek yogurt gives it that thick, creamy texture. Regular yogurt works too, but it’ll be thinner.
- Pour in the milk. Start with 1/2 cup and add more if needed. You’re aiming for smooth, not soupy.
- Sweeten it up. Add honey and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust—this is your smoothie, after all.
- Blend until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. Too thin? Toss in a few ice cubes.
- Pour and enjoy. Garnish with extra mango chunks if you’re feeling fancy.

Storage Instructions
This smoothie is best fresh, but if you must store it:
- Fridge: Keep it in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. It might separate—just give it a shake or re-blend.
- Freezer: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Blend with a splash of milk later for a quick fix.
Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Using unripe mangoes. They’re tart and lack sweetness. Your smoothie will taste like regret.
- Overloading the blender. Too much stuff = uneven blending. Layer liquids first for smoother results.
- Skipping the taste test. Adjust sweetness and thickness as you go. Don’t just hope for the best.
Alternatives

Not feeling mango? Swap it out:
- Pineapple: Tropical vibes, slightly tangy.
- Peach: Sweet and summery.
- Banana: Creamy and filling (add a dash of cinnamon for extra flair).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned mango?
Sure, but drain it first. And FYI, fresh or frozen will taste better.
What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?
Regular yogurt works, but your smoothie will be thinner. Or use a dairy-free alternative—IMO, coconut yogurt is killer here.
Is honey necessary?
Nope. Skip it or use maple syrup if you’re vegan. But ripe mango should be sweet enough on its own.
Can I add protein powder?
Absolutely. Toss in a scoop—just add a bit more milk to keep things smooth.
Why is my smoothie so thick?
You probably went overboard with the frozen mango or yogurt. Add milk, 1 tbsp at a time, until it’s drinkable.
