Mango Banana Smoothie (+8 Variations To Try!)

Share this blog:

Looking for a refreshing and healthy drink? You’re in the right place. This vegan mango smoothie is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. It’s a perfect choice for breakfast or a quick snack any time of the day. Mangoes, known for their sweet and juicy taste, blend perfectly with other ingredients to create a creamy delight.

Making this smoothie is super easy. You’ll need fresh mangoes, a ripe banana, and some plant-based milk like almond or oat milk. If you prefer a bit of a tropical twist, add some coconut milk for extra flavor. Include a handful of ice cubes to make it extra refreshing.

Preparing The Ingredients

To make a vegan mango smoothie, you need a few simple ingredients. First, gather some fresh mangoes. Make sure they are ripe; this will give your smoothie a natural sweetness. Cut the mangoes into small chunks so they blend easily.

Next, you’ll need some almond milk or any plant-based milk you like. Measure about a cup to keep your smoothie creamy and smooth. You can adjust the amount later if needed.

Grab a couple of bananas, too. Bananas add thickness to the smoothie and pair perfectly with mangoes. Peel and slice them so they’re ready to toss into the blender.

Add ice cubes if you want a chilled drink. Ice makes the smoothie refreshing, especially on hot days. Just a handful will do, or more if you prefer it extra cold.

Don’t forget a tablespoon of chia seeds if you want a little fiber boost. They are optional, but they add a nice texture and are nutritious.

Have a good blender handy. Once you have everything ready, it’s easy to blend them all together. Remember, the key to a delicious smoothie is fresh, quality ingredients. So, wash everything well and prepare them carefully before mixing.

Variations To Try

• With spinach: A vegan mango smoothie can be really fun to play around with. Add some spinach for extra greens. It doesn’t taste too strong, but you’ll get a little extra boost of nutrients.
• With pineapple: Try mixing pineapple with mango for an even sweeter tropical flavor. The pineapple adds a bit of tanginess that pairs well with the creamy mango.
• With avocado: For a creamy kick, toss in some avocado. It makes the smoothie richer and thicker. Plus, avocados are great for adding healthy fats.
• With cinnamon: If you like a touch of warmth, sprinkle in some cinnamon. It’s a simple way to add a bit of spice to your drink.
• With almond butter: For a protein punch, consider adding a spoonful of almond butter. This will make your smoothie more filling and satisfying. Peanut butter also works if you prefer that nutty taste.
• With ice cubes: If you want a chilly twist, throw in a few ice cubes. This will make your smoothie extra refreshing, especially on hot days.
• With lime juice: If you like things a bit tart, squeeze in some lime juice. It balances the sweetness of the mango beautifully and brightens up your drink.
• With chia seed: Adding chia seeds can give you some crunch and extra fiber. Just a spoonful is enough to enhance your smoothie.

Storage Tips

• When you make a vegan mango smoothie, you might have some leftovers. Pour any extra smoothie into an airtight container. A glass jar with a tight lid works great.
• Refrigerate your smoothie right away. It should stay fresh for up to 24 hours in the fridge. Shake it up before you drink it again, because it might separate a bit.
• Freezing is another option. Pour your smoothie into ice cube trays. Once frozen, pop the cubes into a freezer bag. When you’re ready, blend the cubes with a little plant milk to enjoy again.
• If you’ve made a large batch, freezing in small portions helps. This way, you only take out what you need without waste.
• To keep the best taste and texture, try to consume within 2 months if frozen. Note that freezing might change the texture slightly, but the flavor should still be delicious.
• Store any ingredients, like fresh mango chunks, in the freezer for future smoothies. This keeps them fresh and makes blending easy later on.
