    Mango Smoothie without Yogurt

    This is a creamy mango smoothie without yogurt with lots of spinach!  The smoothie is a refreshing summertime beverage that uses bananas for creaminess.

    Everyone knows fruit smoothies are delicious, but the sole purpose of smoothies for me is to get more greens into my family’s diet!  Adding vegetables to a smoothie is a great way to get a lot of your daily greens in one go.  

    For more green smoothies, try a pineapple cucumber smoothie with kiwi or an arugula smoothie that pairs the peppery greens with pineapple and oranges. Instead of adding green leafy vegetables, try a pineapple beet smoothie or a carrot orange ginger smoothie.

    Fresh or frozen fruit

    Fresh mango would also be great in this recipe, but opting for frozen does make the prep a lot quicker.  Frozen produce keeps much longer and there’s no peeling or chopping involved.  Frozen fruit will produce a thicker smoothie while fresh fruit makes a thinner smoothie.

    I prefer a combination of frozen and fresh fruit in my smoothies.  Using frozen means I’m much more likely to make a smoothie because there’s no peeling, chopping, and fewer dirty dishes.  However, using all frozen produce can sometimes create more of a slushy texture.  

    Frozen fruit (while in its frozen status) can be more bland than its fresh counterparts.  So I prefer a combination of the two!  If you do use all fresh produce and you’re consuming it right away, I recommend adding ice to chill the smoothie.  

    If you’re not consuming the mango smoothie without yogurt right away, skip the ice cubes and chill your smoothie in the refrigerator.  Depending on how juicy the fresh fruit is and how thin or thick you like your smoothies, you may need to decrease the amount of liquid.  Also, make sure to use ripe fresh fruit in your green smoothie, it will make it sweeter.

    Adding bananas to smoothies

    I prefer to use a very ripe (brown spotted) banana in this mango smoothie because it adds sweetness to the smoothie and helps to cover up the greens' flavor. The banana even acts as a binder to create a creamier texture.

    New to adding greens to your smoothie?

    If you’re new to adding greens to your smoothie and not sure if you’d like it, start with spinach.  It has a milder taste than kale and it’s easier to cover up with fruit.  You can also try adding half the amount of greens, then over time slowly increase the amount as you get used to it.

    Substitutions

    • 1 cup of mango can be substituted with 1 cup of pineapple, which helps with sweetness.
    • Spinach can be substituted with kale or Swiss chard, de-stem the kale, and tear it into bite-size pieces before adding it to the smoothie.
    • The water can be substituted with dairy-free milk, which will make it creamier.

    Variations

    • 1 cup of mango can be substituted with pineapple, strawberries, frozen peaches, or more banana
    • Add orange juice
    • Try adding fresh lime or lemon juice
    • Add freshly grated ginger
    • ½ avocado instead of banana
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Coconut water instead of dairy-free milk or water

    How to pick a ripe mango

    Mangoes soften as they become ripe, so pick one that gives a little with a gentle squeeze.  Not firm and not mushy.

    How to cut a mango

    1. Vertically slice off the 2 cheeks on the sides of the pit. 
    2. Cut a crisscross pattern into the flesh.  Make sure not to cut through the skin.
    3. Turn the slices inside out and cut away the cubes.
    4. I then peel away the skin from the remaining bits left on the pit and try to trim off any remaining mango.

    Storage

    Store any leftover vegan mango smoothie in an air-tight container with a lid in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours.  I’m a big fan of reusing cleaned-out peanut butter jars for all sorts of storage: overnight oats, freezing, meal prep, and even smoothies.  Plus they come with a lid!

    Description

    This is a creamy mango smoothie without yogurt with lots of spinach!  The smoothie is a refreshing summertime beverage that uses bananas for creaminess. 


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 cups frozen mango (or fresh)
    • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale (de-stem kale and tear into bite-size pieces)
    • 2 cups of water or dairy-free milk
    • 1 very ripe banana

    Instructions

    1. Add everything to a blender and blend until smooth.

    Add few ice cubes if you're using all fresh ingredients and consuming after blending.

    Using all fresh ingredients (no frozen) will produce a thinner smoothie, try reducing the liquid for a thicker smoothie.
