Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 to 1½ cups fresh or frozen ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ to 1 cup milk or plant-based milk (adjust for desired consistency)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the mangoes: Peel and chop fresh mangoes into medium pieces for easier blending. If using frozen mangoes, no prep is needed.
- Combine ingredients: Add mango pieces, Greek yogurt, milk, honey, ground cardamom, ice cubes, and a splash of lemon or lime juice into your blender.
- Blend until smooth: Blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is creamy and smooth without chunks.
- Taste and adjust: Taste your smoothie and add additional sweetener, milk, or ice cubes as needed to achieve your perfect balance and consistency.
- Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses and enjoy fresh for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose ripe mangoes for maximum natural sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust thickness by adding more yogurt for creaminess or more milk for a lighter texture.
- Add ice cubes last for better texture and to avoid over-dilution.
- Use chilled ingredients to reduce the need for ice and keep the smoothie cold.
- Fresh lemon or lime juice brightens the flavors and balances the richness beautifully.
