Ingredients and substitutions

You only need a handful of simple ingredients to make this smoothie. It contains no dairy, yogurt, or fruit juice—just whole fruit and dairy-free milk.

What you need

• Mango — Frozen mango is ideal for a thick, chilled smoothie, but fresh mango works too; add a few ice cubes or use a frozen banana if your mango is fresh.
• Banana — One medium banana complements the mango’s sweet-tart flavor. If omitting banana, substitute about 3/4 cup cauliflower rice or florets and consider adding a touch of honey, maple syrup, or a low-calorie sweetener, as banana contributes natural sweetness.
• Lime — Juice of half a lime brightens the flavors; lemon juice can be used instead.
• Dairy-free milk — Any variety works: almond, cashew, oat, or coconut milk. Coconut water is a lighter option with extra tropical notes.
• Sea salt — A pinch helps balance and enhance the smoothie’s flavors.

How to make a mango smoothie

This recipe is simple: five ingredients, a blender, and under five minutes to a delicious smoothie.

Step-by-step

• Add all ingredients to the blender and blend on high until smooth. For a thicker smoothie, add more frozen mango; for a thinner consistency, add a little more dairy-free milk.
• Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.

How to make an extra thick mango smoothie

The base recipe yields a thick yet drinkable smoothie. To achieve an extra-thick, spoonable texture:

• Use both frozen mango and a frozen banana.
• Add extra frozen mango—start with an additional 1/2 cup.
• Reduce the milk slightly (for example, to 1 cup) and use a tamper if your blender has one.
• Add a small handful of ice cubes to thicken and chill, but avoid too many cubes to prevent dilution.

These adjustments also work well to turn the smoothie into a bowl topped with your favorite garnishes.
