Craving a refreshing treat that’s both delicious and healthy? A mango cherry smoothie might be just what you need. This vibrant blend of flavors provides a sweet, fruity burst that feels like paradise in a glass. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, this smoothie is not only tasty but also great for your health. Enjoy a simple way to nourish your body and satisfy your taste buds.

Preparing The Ingredients

To make a tasty mango cherry smoothie, you need ripe mangoes and fresh cherries. Check that the mangoes are soft and sweet. Slice them and remove the pit. As for the cherries, make sure to wash them well and remove the pits from each one.

You will also need some almond milk or any other plant-based milk. This adds creaminess to your smoothie. Use a cup of milk for a nice balance of flavor. A tablespoon of maple syrup or agave can sweeten it more if you like it sweeter.

Finally, have some ice ready. It makes your smoothie cold and frosty. You’ll need about a half cup, depending on how thick you want your smoothie. Once everything is ready, you can move on to blending these ingredients together for a refreshing drink.

Variations To Try

• Get creative with your mango cherry smoothie by mixing in new ingredients. Adding a banana can give it more sweetness and a creamy texture. You can also try throwing in some spinach for a boost of greens without changing the taste much.
• Switching up the liquid base is another option. Instead of water, use almond milk or coconut milk for a richer flavor. You can also try orange juice for a citrusy twist that pairs well with mango and cherry.
• Experimenting with different sweeteners is fun too. Try using agave syrup or a bit of maple syrup if you like a hint of natural sugar.
• For some added crunch, a sprinkle of granola or some crushed nuts on top can give you a nice texture contrast.
• Adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds can boost the fiber content, making the smoothie even more filling and nutritious while keeping it vegan.

Storage Tips

• Pour any leftover vegan mango cherry smoothie into a sealed container.
• Mason jars or airtight bottles work great for this. Make sure there’s a little space at the top as the smoothie can expand when frozen.
• You can keep the smoothie in the fridge if you plan to drink it soon. It should stay fresh for up to two days. If you want to store it longer, put it in the freezer.
• A frozen smoothie can last up to three months.
• Before drinking, let the smoothie thaw in the fridge. If it’s too thick after thawing, give it a good shake or stir to mix it well.
• When you take the smoothie to go, use an insulated bottle. This will help keep it cold for a few hours, especially if you’re headed to work or school.
• If you want your smoothie ready in the morning, prepare it the night before. Store it in the fridge with a tight lid.
• An easy and tasty way to have your smoothie anytime!
• Make sure your container is clean and dry to keep the smoothie fresh. This helps prevent bacteria or weird tastes from developing in your drink.
