Ingredients You’ll Need
Below is a quick overview of what you’ll need to make the recipe and any substitutions you can make. Use the recipe card with the full list of ingredients and measurements at the bottom of the post when you’re ready to make the recipe.
- Mango: You can make this smoothie with fresh or frozen mango. I like frozen mango for convenience and an extra frosty smoothie. Frozen mango creates a thicker, colder smoothie without needing ice.
- Orange: This smoothie uses 1 whole fresh orange. You can use it fresh or freeze it first. Using a whole orange adds more fibre compared to juice alone.
- Banana: Adds a little extra creaminess and sweetness. Frozen banana is best. You can swap the banana for a bit of extra mango if you prefer. Banana helps balance tartness and improves texture.
- Liquid: You can use plant-based milk like oat milk, soy milk or almond milk, water, coconut water or for an extra pop of flavour and colour, orange juice!
- Turmeric: Totally optional but adds an extra pop of colour to the smoothie. Keep it to 1/4 tsp if you don’t want to taste it in the blended smoothie.
Variations
- Pineapple Orange: Swap the mango for frozen pineapple or use half mango, half pineapple.
- Yogurt: Reduce the milk to 3/4 cup and add up to 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt.
- Carrot: Add up to 1/2 cup grated carrot. You may need a little extra liquid to adjust the thickness.
- Strawberry: The mango, orange or banana can be swapped for frozen strawberries or try this Strawberry Mango Smoothie with Protein.
- Peach: Try frozen peaches instead of mango or orange.
- Papaya: Swap the orange or banana for papaya for a mango papaya smoothie.
- Green Smoothie: Add a handful of fresh spinach.
- Coconut: You can use coconut milk to make a mango coconut smoothie.
How to Make this Smoothie More Filling
Smoothies don’t always keep you full because they’re liquid and digest quickly or often don’t contain meaningful protein and fats to keep you full and satisfied. To turn this into a more balanced meal or snack, try adding:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or high-protein dairy-free yogurt.
- 1-2 tbsp chia seeds, hemp seeds or ground flax for fibre and healthy fats.
- 1/2 cup oats for additional carbohydrates and longer-lasting energy.
- 1-2 tbsp almond butter, peanut butter or other nut or seed butter for extra calories and richness.
- Add a handful of leafy greens for extra fibre and nutrients.
These additions can help make the smoothie more suitable for breakfast or post-training recovery.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | How to Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Smoothie is too thin | Too much liquid or not enough frozen fruit | Add more frozen mango or banana and blend again |
| Smoothie is too thick | Not enough liquid or too much frozen fruit | Add plant milk, water or orange juice gradually until smooth |
| Smoothie tastes too tart | Fruit not fully ripe | Add banana, a date or a small amount of maple syrup |
| Smoothie is not creamy or has a grainy texture | Not enough frozen ingredients or blender not powerful | Add frozen banana or yogurt and blend longer |
| Smoothie separates after sitting | Natural settling of blended ingredients | Stir or shake before drinking |
| Smoothie is watery after storing | Frozen ingredients melted | Add fresh ice or blend again briefly |

Is it neccessary to add the protein powder?
It’s not totally necessary but it won’t be as sweet without it. You could add some frozen banana and/or extra orange to replace it, and you may need to adjust the amount of liquid used slightly. Enjoy!
This is my favorite time of the year for refreshing smoothies. I love that this one is made with mangos – my favorite!! Can’t wait to make this.
