Why You’ll Love This Mango Banana Smoothie Recipe
- Creamy and Refreshing. The creamy combination of the tropical flavors of bananas and mangos will make you feel like you’re on vacation every morning!
- Easy. Any good banana smoothie should be quick and easy to make. With a blender and just 5 simple ingredients you likely already have on hand, you’ll have breakfast ready in no time.
- Naturally Sweetened. Most smoothie recipes have no need for added sugar. Fruit is naturally sweet and, with the addition of a little extra honey, there’s no need for anything else!
- Customizable. The great thing about smoothies is that you can easily adjust them to suit your personal taste and preference. Feel free to adjust the amount of milk, honey, and ice to get your desired consistency and sweetness.
What You’ll Need
- Fruit: Mango (pitted and diced) and bananas.
- Milk
- Honey
- Ice: Ice will give you a thicker consistency than just blending together fruit and milk.
How to Make Mango Banana Smoothie
- Combine: Put all the ingredients in the blender – it doesn’t matter how you layer them.
- Blend: Blend the ingredients together, adding more milk as necessary to get the desired consistency. Adjust the amount of sweetness by adding more honey if you’d like.
Recipe Tips and Variations
- Use Ripe Fruits. Ripe mangoes and bananas will give your smoothie more flavor and sweetness, as well as a smoother texture.
- Frozen Fruit. If you want a thicker and colder smoothie, you can freeze your mangoes and bananas before blending them. Or, you can buy frozen mango to save a little time and hassle. This will also help you use less ice and avoid watering down your smoothie.
- Add Some Yogurt. For a creamier and more filling smoothie, you can add some plain or vanilla yogurt to the blender. Feel free to get creative with different kinds of yogurt like Greek or goat milk!
- Try Different Fruits. You can experiment with different fruits to create your own variations of this banana smoothie. Some fruits that go well with mango and banana are pineapple, peach, strawberry, and kiwi.
How to Serve a Banana Smoothie
Mango banana smoothies can be a great light breakfast or afternoon snack when served on their own. But I also love having a small smoothie with a more susbstantial brunch menu. Give this a try with my favorite overnight oats, a western omelet, blueberry banana bread, or avocado toast with a sunny side up egg. You really can’t go wrong here!
Storing Leftovers
- Refrigerate. If you have any leftover smoothie, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good stir before serving, as it may separate overnight.
- Freeze. You can also freeze your smoothie for later use. Pour it into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. Then transfer the smoothie cubes to a freezer bag or container and store for up to 3 months. To serve, just blend the smoothie cubes with some milk or water until smooth.

I loved this recipe. I’m definitely going to try it since I love bananas but I think I’ll use another non-dairy milk because I’m dairy intolerant. I’m always making recipes using fruit.
Tried this one this morning. Was amazing 🙂
Hi there, I just made this smoothie and I’m the same with milk too, so I used my. Liddels, lactose free, low fat milk and it was so delicious and filling
I love mango and bananas but lot of sugar together. I use use mango a lot of thickening in smoothies when I don’t want to use a bananas or avocado. Great site
I was looking for a mango banana shake but I came across this smoothie recipe after reading few other simple similar recipes, but this attracted me more because of its more simplicity. I’m going to change few ingredients or add few more, such as vannila ice cream, elaichi for texture and smell, ice etc.
Anyway, thank you. I’m going to now make it.
This looks awesome. Smoothies are my fave! Mangoes and bananas were just made to be paired together. 🙂
Hi! Can I use frozen mango from the grocery store to make this & if so, how much of it should I use? Thanks!
Hi Gina!! Is the mango diced? If it is, I would use somewhere around 1-1/2 to 2 cups of diced mango.
Thanks Katerina!
Kate,
I read this while drinking a mango margarita. Counts for something, right? I used the blender to make it . . . and thought about adding banana, but we’ve been having a fruit fly problem and I’ve deliberately avoided buying bananas long enough that I’ve even used all of the ones in the freezer!
Thanks for a tasty smoothie idea!
