Hands-On Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chopped ripe mango
• ½ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
• ½ cup ice
• ¼ cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Place the mango, milk, ice, yogurt, and honey (if using) in a blender.

Step 2: Blend until smooth and frothy. Serve immediately.

Ingredient Substitutions:

• Fresh mango: Use one cup of frozen mango, skipping the ice. If using a standard blender, let the mango defrost for 10 minutes before blending.
• Milk: Substitute with any dairy or unsweetened non-dairy milk like soy, almond, macadamia, or coconut.
• Ice: No ice? Use frozen mango or a half banana cut into chunks and frozen.
• Yogurt: Use unsweetened dairy or non-dairy yogurt, either regular or Greek-style. Coconut or mango-flavored yogurt works well too.
• Honey: Swap with a pitted Medjool date, agave syrup, or maple syrup.

Mango Smoothie Variations:

• Berry: Replace mango with one cup of frozen blueberries or raspberries. Omit the ice and use maple syrup for sweetness.
• Green: Add a few avocado slices and 1 cup of fresh baby spinach or 1/4 cup frozen chopped spinach. Adjust liquid if needed.
• Nutty: Blend in 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, tahini, almond butter, or cashew butter.
• Spiced: Add 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom.
• Turmeric: For an anti-inflammatory boost, blend in a pinch of turmeric.
• Carrot and Pineapple: Add mango to a carrot pineapple smoothie recipe for vibrant color and extra fruit flavor.
