Ingredients

You will require a few simple ingredients to make this smoothie recipe.

  • 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 ripe 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 choices like maple syrup, honey, agave, or dates syrup. Adding sweetener is optional if the mangoes and bananas are very sweet.
  • Ice cubes: it's optional.

Expert Tips

  • Use ripe fruits: using a ripe mango and banana makes the smoothie sweet, creamy, and tastes great.
  • Use frozen mango or banana: This will make your smoothie extra thick, creamy, and chill.
  • Use a high-speed blender: This will help to make your smoothie silky-smooth. You will not run into any chunks of fruit in the mouth.
