What You’ll Need
Ingredient Notes
- Greek yogurt- This adds protein to the smoothie and also makes it thicker and more creamy. You can use regular yogurt as well.
- Fruit- Frozen mango, fresh banana, and orange juice all come together for a deliciously tropical combo.
- Milk- This liquid keeps the smoothie from becoming too thick. Depending on the type of milk (whole, 2%, etc.) the smoothie may be thinner or more creamy.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Substitute different yogurt- Plain yogurt adds a tangy flavor, but you could also use vanilla yogurt or other flavors for a different taste.
- Add more fruit- Try this smoothie with berries, like strawberries or blueberries, or with some pineapple chunks for different flavor profiles.
- Make it dairy-free- Substitute the milk with coconut milk, almond milk, or oat milk for a non-dairy, vegan option. Also use plant-based yogurt.
- Add protein powder- This smoothie can be its own meal with the addition of some protein powder to make it more filling.
How to Make Mango Smoothie
- Add ingredients to blender. In a blender, add the frozen mango chunks, freshly sliced banana, milk, orange juice, and Greek yogurt.
- Blend until smooth. Pulse on high speed until the smoothie is thick and creamy. Enjoy right away.
Pro Tip: Add a little extra milk or orange juice if the mixture is too thick.
Recipe Tips
- Freeze the banana too– If you want to get the smoothie even thicker, freeze the banana without its peel before adding it to the smoothie.
- Cut the fruit small- You don’t want a large chunk of mango or banana gumming up your blender blades, so keep the fruit small for easier blending.
- Get the texture you want- If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add a little extra milk or orange juice as you blend to get it the consistency you like.
- Serve immediately- Smoothies tend to separate as they sit and melt, so serve this Mango Smoothie as soon as it’s blended.
FAQs
The sweet flavor of mango mixes well with other tropical flavors, such as banana, coconut, orange, and pineapple. Berries and peaches also go well with mangoes.
Milk (dairy or non-dairy) is the best addition to a smoothie because it adds a creamy flavor and texture. You can also add fruit juice for more flavor.

Make This Recipe in Advance
Make ahead: You can freeze the fruit ahead of time so you can quickly put this smoothie together.
Storing: This Mango Smoothie should be consumed immediately, but you can place it in the refrigerator for up to a day. It will separate and thin as it sits, so you will need to blend it again.
Freeze: You can freeze the smoothie ingredients, but not the prepared smoothie.
