Ingredients

• Mango: Use good quality mangoes that are sweet, juicy, and non-fibrous to make this milkshake recipe. I personally like Ataulfo, Kent, or Keitt varieties in the USA and Alphonso, Kesar, and Badami varieties in India. You can use either fresh or frozen mango. You may also use canned mango pulp or mango puree instead of mango chunks.
• Banana: It makes the smoothie creamy and sweet. I prefer to use fresh, ripened bananas. You may use frozen bananas as well.
• Milk: I've used unsweetened almond milk in this recipe. However, you can use dairy, coconut, oat, soy, or any plant-based milk you like.
• Sweetener: add a sweetener of your choice, like maple syrup, honey, agave, or date syrup. Adding sweetener is optional if the mangoes and bananas are very sweet.
• Ice cubes: it's optional.

How to Make Mango Banana Smoothie

Add the mango pieces, banana slices, apple, milk, sweetener, and ice cubes to your blender and blend until smooth. You can also use a high-speed blender like Vitamix Blender, which blends a super smooth and creamy smoothie in a few seconds.

If your smoothie is too thick, add some milk and blend again.

Serve immediately with some ice cubes if desired, and enjoy!

How to Serve Mango Banana Smoothies

Serve this mango banana smoothie as a healthy breakfast or a quick snack. If desired, pair it with sandwiches or pancakes for breakfast. You can also serve it to infants and toddlers kids.

Variations and Optional Add-Ins

• Nut butter: such as peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter, add creaminess and nutty flavor to this smoothie recipe. Great source of healthy protein and fat.

• Chocolate: Add one tablespoon of cocoa powder to make a chocolate mango banana smoothie recipe.
