Preparing The Ingredients

First, gather all your ingredients. You’ll need ripe mangoes, and fresh or frozen raspberries. Make sure your mangoes are soft to the touch and smell sweet. They should peel easily and slice without too much resistance.

Next, prepare your mangoes. Slice them and remove the seed. A paring knife works well for this. Cut the mango flesh into small pieces so they blend smoothly. If you’re using frozen mangoes, measure out the needed amount.

Rinse your raspberries thoroughly under running water. Check for any soft or spoiled ones and discard them. You want these berries to be fresh and firm for the best flavor. If you’re using frozen raspberries, just take them out of the freezer before blending.

Finally, gather any other ingredients you might want like almond milk or coconut water to thin out the smoothie. Measure about a cup or as needed. You might also add a touch of sweetness like a dollop of agave syrup or a few dates if the fruits aren’t as sweet as you’d like.

  • Switch up your vegan mango raspberry smoothie by swapping in different fruits. Try using pineapple or strawberries instead of raspberries. This adds a fun twist to the flavor.
  • Add some spinach or kale to boost nutrition without changing the taste much. A handful of greens blends smoothly with the mango.
  • Experiment with plant-based milks like almond, soy, or coconut milk. Each one brings its own unique flavor to the smoothie.
  • Spice things up by adding a dash of cinnamon or ginger. These spices add a warm and zesty flavor kick.
  • For a creamier texture, mix in some avocado or banana. Just remember, a little goes a long way!
  • A scoop of peanut butter or almond butter can add richness and make your smoothie more filling.
  • Throw in some seeds like chia, flax, or hemp for a nutrient boost. They add healthy fats and protein.
  • Sweeten it naturally by blending in pitted dates or a splash of maple syrup. This keeps the smoothie sweet without any added sugar.
  • Don’t forget about toppings, either! Try shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit slices on top for extra texture and flavor.

Storage Tips

  • When you’ve made a vegan mango raspberry smoothie, it’s key to know how to store it right. If you want to save some for later, keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Use an airtight container to keep it fresh. Mason jars work well and are easy to clean.
  • If you plan on storing it for longer, freezing is a better option. Pour the smoothie into freezer-safe containers, leaving some space at the top since liquids expand when frozen. You can also use ice cube trays for easy portioning. Once frozen, transfer the cubes into a zip-top bag for more space.
  • When you’re ready to drink your saved smoothie, thaw it in the fridge for a few hours. If it’s too thick after thawing, just put it in a blender with a bit of plant-based milk or water. This helps get back that smooth consistency. Remember, for best taste and texture, it’s always better to enjoy your smoothie fresh.
