Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh or canned lychee, peeled and pitted
- 1 cup ripe mango, diced
- 1/2 cup coconut water or regular water
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine the peeled lychees and mango pieces. Add the coconut water (or regular water) and blend until smooth.

Helpful Tips and Variations:
- For a dairy-free version, replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
- If fresh lychees are not available, canned lychees work perfectly fine. Just make sure to drain them well.
- For an extra health boost, add a handful of spinach; it won’t affect the taste but will add nutrients.
- Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment.
Storage and Substitutions:
- Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake before serving.
- You can substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup to maintain the drink’s natural sweetness if needed.
Pairings and Complements:
- This smoothie pairs wonderfully with light snacks like almond biscotti or a fresh fruit salad.
- Enjoy it alongside a slice of banana bread for a delightful afternoon treat.
