Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender

Ingredients
 

  • 2 fresh mangoes or 2 cups of frozen mango
  • 1 small frozen banana (or half of a large banana), you can use unfrozen if using frozen mango
  • ½ cup milk, dairy or dairy-free
  • ½ cup yogurt, dairy or dairy-free

Instructions
 

Prep the Fruit

  • If using fresh mangoes, slice the cheeks off the pit and score the flesh. Use the rim of a sturdy glass to slide the peel off and drop the juicy flesh into a bowl. If using frozen mango, let it sit for a minute to lose its rock-solid exterior while remaining cold.

Layer the Blender for a Smooth Vortex

  • Pour the milk and yogurt into the blender base first. This helps the blades catch the liquid and create a vortex for faster circulation.
  • Add the mango and banana on top. Add a tiny pinch of sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric to the fruit for a deeper flavor and vibrant golden color.

Blend Until Silky

  • Blend on high power until the mixture turns a vivid orange-gold and has a glossy, ribbon-like texture without any icy bits.
  • If the blender stalls, let it sit for 2 minutes to soften or add a small splash of milk. Keep the texture thick and spoonable for the best experience.

Notes

Temperature Tip: Always include at least one frozen fruit component to ensure the smoothie is thick and frosty rather than thin and lukewarm.
Storage Tip: While best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze leftovers in popsicle molds for a healthy, sunny snack later.
Customization Tip: Add a squeeze of lime to brighten the sweetness or a scoop of protein powder to increase the staying power of your breakfast.
