There’s nothing better than kicking back with a mango smoothie on a blazing hot day. Plus, there’s just something about mango that makes me feel like I’m in a tropical paradise. Why not use the heat to daydream a bit?

HOW DO YOU MAKE A MANGO SMOOTHIE?

If you want to make your own frozen fruit, simply dice up some mango ahead of time and keep it in the freezer. If you don’t have time to make your own, frozen mango can be bought at any grocery store. To make this creamy drink, toss your ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Feel free to kick back and relax once you’ve served yourself this refreshing mango smoothie.

The secret ingredient to this healthy mango smoothie is mango nectar. You can find it in a can in the juice aisle at the store or in the refrigerated section in a carton. It packs a delicious flavor that makes it the perfect ingredient for your smoothie.

Some other juices to use if mango nectar isn’t available are

  • Apple Juice
  • Orange Juice
  • Pineapple Juice

Although this smoothie is healthy enough on its own, there are other ways you can up the health factor. One way is by using a juice that’s 100% juice with no added sugars. Another way is by making sure that your mango chunks do not contain any added sugar.

More items that can be added to up the health factor of your healthy mango smoothie are

  • Flax seeds
  • Chia seeds
  • Kale
  • Berries
  • Protein powder

WHAT ARE THE HEATH BENEFITS OF MANGO?

Mango is quite a healthy fruit. Research shows that antioxidant compounds found in mango help protect against a long list of cancers. Outside of that, it helps with eye health, gut health, lowers cholesterol and more. Sounds like a fruit everyone should keep on hand!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GREEK YOGURT AND REGULAR YOGURT?

There isn’t as big of a difference as you would think. However, Greek yogurt is strained more times than regular yogurt which removes more of its liquid. This causes it to be thicker but also allows for it to contain more protein than regular yogurt.

This mango smoothie will make you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation. It’s the absolute best way to cool off and get in some nutrients on a hot day!

      Delicious!!! I also tried a version with 1 1/2 cups of frozen strawberries instead of frozen mangoes and it was a big hit😋
