Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300g) ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup (240ml) fresh coconut water (or bottled unsweetened)
- 1 medium frozen banana, sliced
- ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Toppings (optional): fresh mango chunks, sliced kiwi or pineapple, toasted coconut flakes, granola or chopped nuts, fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Peel and chop about 2 cups (300g) of ripe mango into chunks. Peel and slice one medium frozen banana. If banana is fresh, add a few ice cubes to the blender.
- Carefully crack open a fresh young coconut and pour out 1 cup (240ml) of coconut water. If using bottled coconut water, measure the same amount.
- Add mango, frozen banana, coconut water, ½ cup (120g) Greek or plant-based yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional), 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon lime juice to your blender.
- Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed, until the mixture is thick but pourable and creamy.
- Adjust texture if needed: add more frozen banana slices or ice if too thin, or a splash more coconut water if too thick.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl, spreading it evenly.
- Decorate with desired toppings such as fresh mango chunks, sliced kiwi, toasted coconut flakes, granola, and fresh mint leaves.
Notes
Use ripe mangoes that give slightly when pressed for best flavor. Freeze banana slices ahead for creaminess. Fresh coconut water is preferred for a brighter taste. Pulse blender in intervals to avoid heating the mixture. Prepare fruit the night before to save time. Add fresh toppings just before serving to keep textures crisp.
