You’ll love how the mango’s sweetness mixes with the tangy orange, making it a quick treat any time of the day. The smoothie is perfect for breakfast or a midday snack.

It’s not only tasty but also packed with nutrients to keep you energized. Whether you’re a smoothie lover or just starting your plant-based journey, this drink is a satisfying, guilt-free option.

Preparing The Ingredients

To make your mango orange smoothie, you don’t need a lot of ingredients, but they need to be just right. Start by picking ripe mangoes. You can tell if they’re ready if they have a little give when you press them gently.

Now, grab some fresh oranges. You’ll want juicy ones for that refreshing taste. Peel them, and remove any seeds before blending.

Don’t forget the plant-based milk. Almond or coconut milk works well. Pour about one cup into your blender.

For some added sweetness, you can use maple syrup or another sweetener you like. Be careful not to add too much. A tablespoon should be enough.

Finally, gather a handful of ice cubes. This will make your smoothie nice and cold.

Once you’ve got everything, you’re ready to blend!

Variations To Try

• Want to switch up your vegan mango orange smoothie? There are some tasty options to explore.
• Add a handful of spinach for a green twist. You won’t taste much difference, but your smoothie will get a boost of nutrients. If you’re feeling adventurous, try kale.
• Switch the mango for pineapple if you like a tropical flavor. It gives a sweet and tangy taste that’s refreshing.
• Using coconut water instead of almond milk changes the texture and gives a hint of coconut flavor. It’s hydrating, too.
• For a creamy texture, you can toss in a ripe banana. It blends in easily and adds natural sweetness.
• If you’re into berries, throw in some frozen blueberries. They pair well with the mango and orange, creating a nice color and flavor contrast.
• To add a bit of warmth, sprinkle some ground ginger into your smoothie. Just a pinch will do to add a little zing.
• Another fun twist is adding chia seeds. They’ll make your smoothie thicker and add healthy fiber.
• Feel like adding a little protein? Blend in a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder. It’ll keep you full and energized for longer.

Storage Tips

• To keep your vegan mango orange smoothie fresh, pour any leftovers into an airtight container. A glass jar with a tight lid works great. This helps keep the flavors and nutrients locked in.
• Storing your smoothie in the refrigerator is best if you plan to enjoy it within a day. It’ll taste refreshing and keep its creamy texture.
• For a longer storage option, freeze it. Fill ice cube trays with the smoothie for later use. Once frozen, you can pop these cubes into your blender for a quick drink.
• Remember, when freezing, leave some space in the containers. Smoothies expand a bit as they freeze. This prevents any mess in your freezer.
• If making a big batch, consider splitting it into smaller servings before storing. This makes it easy to grab just the right amount when needed.
• Shake or stir well after storage. This mixes the ingredients back together and improves the texture.
• Avoid keeping your smoothie next to strong-smelling foods in the fridge. Smoothies can absorb other odors.
