This Easy Mango Smoothie Recipe is fresh, super creamy, fruity, and delicious! Just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes necessary!

Mango smoothie in two cups

When I developed this recipe, I had every intention of making a mango sorbet, but I ended up with something so much better…this easy mango smoothie!

It has 5 ingredients, takes 5 minutes to make, and will take you no more than 5 minutes to suck down. 😉 It’s creamy, luxurious, and deliciously fruity!

Ingredients

This smoothie is all about balance. It’s loaded with healthy ingredients like greek yogurt and mango, but also does use a bit of sugar.

  • Greek Yogurt –  nonfat, plain Greek yogurt makes this smoothie extra creamy. Feel free to use a vanilla yogurt if you’d like to reduce the amount of added sugar. You could even use a coconut plant based yogurt to make this vegan.
  • Frozen Mango – earthy, creamy, and loaded with vitamins, mineral and antioxidants!
  • Vanilla – adds a warmth and depth of flavor to this smoothie.
  • Lemon Juice – brightens up the earthy mango.
  • Sugar – helps balance out the tartness of the greek yogurt and brings out the sweetness in the mango.
Pro tip
Want to make this smoothie healthier? You have a few options: reduce the amount of sugar in half and/or use an all natural sweetener like agave, honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar instead!

How to make

This smoothie takes just 5 minutes to whip up! So easy and so fresh!

  1. Place all of your ingredients in a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth then serve and enjoy!
Pro tip
Can’t find frozen mango? Wash and cut fresh mango then store in the freezer for later. Most fresh fruit will last up to 6 months if frozen properly!

How to make smoothies creamy

  • Use frozen fruit. When blended, frozen fruit creates a creamier texture than non-frozen fruit. Frozen fruit also removes the need for ice, which waters down a smoothie and can give it an icy texture vs a creamy one!
  • Use Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier than regular yogurt so I definitely recommend using it in this recipe to make it ultra thick and creamy.
  • Use a high-powered blender. High-powered blenders, like a Vitamix, blend ingredients together better than others making smoothies even creamier.

Can you use fresh mango?

You can but frozen mango makes this smoothie recipe extra creamy. If you’re slicing your own mango, I recommend slicing it ahead of time then freezing it before using.

If you don’t have time to freeze your fresh mango, you can try adding some ice into the smoothie but it will affect the taste and texture.

Can you use regular yogurt instead of greek yogurt?

You can, but Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier than regular yogurt. Bonus, it’s also higher in protein!

Can this be made vegan?

You can easily make this smoothie vegan. Simply sub the Greek yogurt for a vegan variety like coconut yogurt.

Variations

  • Give it a nutrition boost. Try blending in flax or chia seeds or a few handfuls of spinach.
  • Up the protein. Blend in your favorite vanilla protein powder.
  • Add banana. Blend in some frozen banana slices. Bonus: this adds to the creaminess!
  • Play with flavors. Try strawberry mango, raspberry mango, blueberry mango, or pineapple mango, etc. with some frozen fruit additions.
  • Thin it out. Add a liquid like coconut milk, mango nectar, or pineapple juice.
  • Add matcha. Sprinkle in a couple teaspoons of matcha powder for a healthier, antioxidant-packed smoothie.

How to store

This smoothie is best served right away for it to be enjoyed at its creamiest. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for a week.

Re-blend or mix when you’re ready to eat!

Notes

**This smoothie is THICK and that's just how I like them. If you don't have a really powerful blender, you may need to add some sort of liquid for even blending. Maybe milk? Or even orange juice? I can't vouch for those results, so let me know if something works for you!

    5 stars THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH, IM THIRTEEN AND ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS RECIPE, THE ONLY THING I CHANGED WAS I WENT FROM 1/2 A CUP OF SUGAR TO 4 TABLESPOONS, AND I SLIGHTLY DEFROSTED THE MANGO CHUNKS, I FEEL LIKE IT GIVES IT A SMOOTHER TEXTURE, BUT ANYWAY THANKS.

      Hi Lisa! I’m so glad you liked it! Love the idea of slightly defrosting the mango chunks 🙂

      Good to know! I’ve been using frozen mango and unhappy with my smoothies b/c I feel like there are always chunks in there rather than a smooth texture I’m going for. I’m going to defrost next time!
