Description
A quick and easy tropical smoothie made with ripe mango, banana, and creamy coconut milk. Perfect for a refreshing pick-me-up or a nourishing snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ripe mango, peeled and chopped (about 165g)
- 1 medium ripe banana (about 120g)
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk (240ml)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ cup ice cubes (optional, about 120g)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and chop the mango and banana into chunks. If using frozen fruit, no need to thaw.
- Add mango, banana, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and ice cubes (if desired) to the blender.
- Pulse to break down the fruit, then blend on high until smooth and creamy with no chunks.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed. For a thinner smoothie, add more coconut milk or coconut water and blend briefly.
- Pour into a glass or tumbler and serve immediately. Optionally, sprinkle shredded coconut or chia seeds on top.
Notes
Freeze bananas ahead for a thicker smoothie without ice. Use full-fat canned coconut milk for richness. Adjust sweetness last after tasting. Avoid adding too much ice to prevent dilution. Adding a squeeze of lime juice brightens the flavor. Protein powder or greens can be added for extra nutrition.
