Tips + Tricks for a Mango Smoothie

USE FROZEN FRUIT, NOT ICE

We highly recommend using frozen fruit over fresh fruit or ice! Fresh fruit tends to omit more liquid than frozen fruit, making your smoothie more water-y.

We also HIGHLY recommend avoiding ice, if possible! Ice also tends to produce a more water-y smoothie, plus, if you can achieve that thick and chilled texture by using nutrient-dense ingredients instead of ice, why wouldn’t you!?

Keep a stash of frozen fruit in your freezer at all times, or freeze extra berries or fruit that you have at home for DIY frozen fruit. 

You only need to freeze your fruit for 30-60 minutes for it to be smoothie-ready, so no need to worry if you’re just popping your fruit into the freezer now! You’ll be off and running with a delicious smoothie in no time 😀

NEED SOME EXTRA PROTEIN?

If you are enjoying this mango smoothie after a workout or just want to beef it up a bit, feel free to add a scoop or two of your favorite protein powder. Check out our favorite protein powders here!

SPECIFICALLY, FROZEN BANANAS CAN’T BE BEAT 

We are big fans of using frozen bananas as a base for many of our smoothie recipes. Not only are bananas cheap and nutrient-dense, but when they are frozen and then blended, they are SO delicious and creamy!

A LITTLE LIQUID AT A TIME, PEOPLE

One of the main tips we give people when making a smoothie is to add the recommended amount of liquid a little bit at a time until the smoothie reaches your desired consistency. 

Adding all of the liquid at once could leave you with a water-y smoothie! You can ALWAYS add more liquid, but can’t take it out! 

Healthy Toppings for a Mango Smoothie

This smoothie is oh so delicious on its own, but if you’re in the mood to turn it into a smoothie bowl or simply jazz it up with toppings, we recommend any (or a combo!) of the following:
