How to make a mango smoothie
This healthy mango smoothie has just three ingredients: frozen mango chunks, chia seeds, and a liquid of your choice (I used coconut water for these photos!)
- combine all ingredients in a blender
- blend
- add more liquid if your blender gets stuck
I would also like to point out that my blender is not fancy or high powered, so you definitely don’t need to get fancy!
Is this healthy mango smoothie sweet? Mango is naturally quite sweet, so for this recipe there is no need to add any sweetener.
Can I make this a mango spinach smoothie? YES! You can add quite a bit of greens to this recipe without tasting them. I like to blend my greens with the liquid before adding the rest of the ingredients, because that way they get completely blended smooth (who likes chunks of spinach in their smoothie? Not me!).
- add 3/4 cup packed spinach
- or 1/2 cup packed kale
If you find you can still taste the greens after blending, try adding a 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. I find this really helps to mask the flavor! 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon can help, too.
