Vegan Mango Banana Smoothie Recipe


  • Author: Dorothy Miller

Description

Dive into the tropical bliss of a Vegan Mango Banana Smoothie, blending the sweet, rich flavors of mango and banana into a creamy, nutritious delight. Perfect for a healthy start to your day or a refreshing post-workout treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 frozen bananas sliced
  • 1 can 14 ounces light coconut milk
  • 1 cup mango chunks

Instructions

  • Put all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add a few ice cubes if you would like it more frozen. Makes 2 to 3 servings.

Notes

  • Use Frozen Fruit for Thickness: For a thicker, creamier smoothie without the need for ice, use frozen mango chunks and a frozen banana. This not only cools the smoothie but also gives it a rich, ice-cream-like consistency.
  • Ripe Fruit for Natural Sweetness: Opt for ripe mangoes and bananas as they are naturally sweeter. This allows you to avoid adding refined sugars or sweeteners, keeping your smoothie healthy and naturally delicious.
  • Customize with Superfoods: Boost the nutritional value of your smoothie by adding superfoods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a scoop of protein powder. These additions enhance the smoothie’s health benefits without compromising taste.
  • Adjust Consistency: You can adjust the consistency of your smoothie by adding more or less liquid. Use plant-based milks like almond, soy, or coconut milk for a creamier texture and added flavor.
  • Add Greens for Extra Nutrients: For an extra health kick, blend in a handful of spinach or kale. These greens won’t significantly alter the taste but will increase the fiber, vitamins, and minerals in your smoothie.
  • Sweeten Wisely: If you prefer your smoothie a bit sweeter, opt for natural sweeteners like dates, maple syrup, or a splash of agave nectar. These are healthier alternatives to refined sugar and blend well with the flavors.
  • Serve Immediately: For the best texture and taste, enjoy your smoothie immediately after blending. If you need to store it, keep it in a sealed container in the fridge and consume within 24 hours for optimal freshness.

These simple tips and notes will help you create a Vegan Mango Banana Smoothie that’s not only delicious but also tailored to your nutritional needs and taste preferences. Enjoy the process and feel free to experiment with different variations!
