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.
