This mango smoothie is a packed full of a delicious tropical mango flavor in every sip. It’s creamy, smooth, and such a delicious way to start the day.
Everyone likes starting the new year off with a fresh starting, exercising more, eating healthier, saving more money, reading more books, etc. Or maybe it’s just me 😉 But I’m still staying on track this year so far – a whopping 15 days in, so that’s pretty good, right?
This mango smoothie is one of my favorite healthier ways to start the day. It’s the perfect delicious breakfast, and it gives me enough energy to go about my day.
Mangoes are pretty healthy on their own. They’re full of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber and have been been found to help with digestion, and to lower cholesterol, and decrease risk of some cancers.
This smoothie is a great healthy breakfast, or snack. Just make sure your mangos don’t have any added sugar, and check that your mango nectar is 100% juice too. I like using vanilla greek yogurt, because it’s a little sweet and packed full of protein, but plain greek yogurt is even better for you!
How to make a mango smoothie?
This mango smoothie can be made in only 5 minutes, all you need is some frozen mango chunks, mango nectar, yogurt, and a blender. Blend the three ingredients up together and your delicious smoothie is ready to go.
You can use fresh mango instead of frozen, and add in ice, but your smoothie will have a slightly less strong mango flavor, and may be a little icy, though still delicious.
The mango nectar makes the smoothie extra creamy, thick, and delicious. It should be found in the juice aisle in a can, or possibly a carton in the refrigerated juice area. But if you can’t find mango nectar you can substitute it for other juice options. You could use Simply Orange’s Orange with Mango Juice Blend,, Dole’s Orange Peach Mango Juice, or even just apple juice.
You can also add a banana to the smoothie if you want. And it will help make it even creamier.
I also like adding in a handful or two of spinach sometimes, and especially if you add in the banana too, your kids won’t even notice the flavor of the spinach at all. It can just be a fun “monster” smoothie. My kids are requesting one almost every morning now.
