How To Make Mango Smoothie With Frozen Mango: I Love Mangos. I used to get big mangoes from my fruit vendor in the local market and he would slice them for me into 100 peices , wrap it neatly in a polythene. At my place I used to make arrack from it or keep them whole and use it during summer season.

Now that we’re moving into fall, I thought it would be the perfect time to share a Frozen Mango Smoothie Recipe. Because fall means it’s smoothie time, right?
I’m not much about sticking to the seasonal fare rules, especially when it comes to smoothies. We like to enjoy fruit smoothies all year long. That’s why I like buying and staying stocked up on frozen fruit. Whether it’s blueberries, strawberries, cherries, or mango, you will always find a few bags of frozen fruit in our freezer. Which means that we are never without the ingredients for a healthy snack, quick breakfast, or even when needed, an easy lunch for on the go.
Our daughter, Hope, is a big mango fan. Ever since she enjoyed a frozen mango popsicle in NYC a few years back, she just can’t seem to get enough of the tropical fruit in frozen form. So when she came home from college this weekend, I made sure to have a couple of bags of frozen mango ready because I knew she would get around to making her favorite smoothie, a Frozen Mango Smoothie.
Over the summer she played around with the mango smoothie and I think she managed to perfect it. Personally, I’ve never been much of a mango fan. I’m not sure why. It seems to be a favorite fruit for many. I’ve always been kinda take it or leave it with the mango. But this mango smoothie recipe is another story. I’m a big fan of the mango in this smoothie. Yes siree! I think you will be too. Grab a blender, some frozen fruit and a few more simple ingredients and get to blending!

Tropical Mango Smoothie Ingredients
For this mango glass of tropical deliciousness, we’re keeping things as simple as possible with just three ingredients. You’ll need a mango, your favorite Greek yogurt, and some milk!
- Mango: For the mango portion of this recipe, you’ll need 1 cup of diced fruit, either fresh or frozen. Any mango variety will work well!
- Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt will add thickness and protein to the smoothie. Go for ½ cup of either plain or vanilla.
- Milk: Finish it off with ½ cup of a liquid! I prefer milk here, but you could use orange juice, coconut water, or a plant-based milk.
How To Make A Smoothie With Mango
Any recipe that calls for just two steps is a winner in my book.
- Prep the ingredients: Peel and dice the mango, then set it on a plate and freeze for about 30 minutes. This will help it chill, which will contribute to the frosty consistency of the smoothie. Alternatively, you can use pre-frozen mango pieces (these are often more affordable).
- Blitz everything together: Blend all of the ingredients in a blender until everything is smooth and mixed together. Enjoy!
Go Vegan With These Swaps
If you’re interested in veganizing this smoothie, it’s easy! Instead of using dairy Greek yogurt, go for a dairy-free option instead. I love coconut yogurt here for the subtle tropical flavor it brings. In terms of the milk, you can sub regular milk with your favorite dairy-free alternative, use orange juice, or even coconut water!
Possible Variations
As with most smoothies, you can add flavors and ingredients to make this mango smoothie your own! I love replacing some of the frozen mango with frozen pineapple or strawberry. Or add honey and spices to make it a Mango Lassi. Or add a boost of nutrition with protein powder, chia seeds, or flax. The options are endless!
