Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Peel and dice the ripe mango into small cubes, ensuring to remove the pit. Set the diced mango aside.
- Rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Once clean, gently pat the spinach dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- In a blender, combine the diced mango, spinach, orange juice, banana, and yogurt. If you prefer a chilled smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes at this stage.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy, usually about 30-60 seconds. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Once blended to your desired consistency, taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little honey or agave syrup and blend again briefly to mix.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses. You can garnish with a slice of mango or a few spinach leaves on top for presentation if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Green Mango Orange Smoothie!
Tips
- Choose a ripe mango for maximum sweetness - look for fruits that yield slightly when gently pressed.
- For an extra smooth consistency, freeze your banana beforehand to create a thicker, more milkshake-like texture.
- If you're looking to boost nutrition, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds to the blend.
- Use fresh, cold orange juice for the best flavor - avoid concentrates if possible.
- For a vegan version, substitute yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a little water or extra orange juice to thin it out.
- Clean your blender immediately after use to prevent ingredients from sticking and becoming hard to wash.
