Servings: 2
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine the frozen mango chunks, almond butter, banana, Greek yogurt, and almond milk.
- Add the honey and vanilla extract into the mixture. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, splitting evenly. The vibrant yellow hue and the creamy texture are sure to entice everyone at the table.
- Enjoy immediately, savoring each sip of this flavorful, nutrient-packed delight.
Helpful Tips and Variations:
- If you don’t have almond butter on hand, peanut butter works wonderfully as a substitute.
- For a vegan version, use a dairy-free yogurt and sweetener of choice.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, top your smoothie with granola or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
- This smoothie can easily be turned into a smoothie bowl—just reduce the almond milk to achieve thicker consistency and add your favorite toppings.
Storage and Substitutions:
- If there are any leftovers, store the smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reblend before serving to restore its creamy texture.
- In case mango is out of season, swap it with frozen peaches for a similarly refreshing drink.
Pairings and Complements:
- Pair this smoothie with a light breakfast like avocado toast to kick off your day on a nutritious note.
- It also serves as an excellent afternoon snack alongside a handful of almonds or a granola bar.
