Summer is about smoothies.

Okay–maybe it is about a few other things besides smoothies and maybe you can drink them in the winter too, but this creamy mango banana smoothie is perfect for summer.

Ben and I love to go to a great Lebanese place around us. So much so that they know us. They have a lot of fresh juices and smoothies but let’s be honest, I’m more concerned about the fattoush, shawarma and pita bread. If we have any room left in our bellies after stuffing our faces with those, we often will get mango smoothies for the road.

This mango smoothie recipe isn’t an exact replica but I love the fresh taste of mango in it. It’s refreshing and delightful. As you can see, I had to pry it out of E’s hands to get a sip. She was obbbbbbsesssssssed.  Girl had to have had brain freeze going on.

This could honestly pass for a milkshake. Mango Milkshake. The milk and frozen banana give it that thick smooth feeling that you’d expect from a milkshake. You’ll never even notice that you’re using skim milk.

A touch of honey is optional, since it is plenty sweet from the fruit. However, I do love the flavor that the honey adds. Just a little something special, you know?

She approves. So will you.

Perfect for a quick breakfast or refreshing snack, a mango smoothie with bananas is creamy, delicious, and easy to make!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen mango chunks
  • ½ large banana, cut into chunks and frozen (about ½ cup)
  • 1 cup skim milk (or milk of your choice), more as needed
  • 1 tablespoon honey, optional

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you don’t have time to freeze the fruits or just don’t feel like it, you can use fresh fruit and add ice cubes to achieve desired thickness. 
  • Any type of milk can be used, both dairy and nondairy. Plain yogurt, either Greek or regular, can be substituted for the milk, if desired.
  • Feel free to omit the honey, if desired, or substitute another sweetener of your choice.
  • If mangos aren't available, try frozen peaches or pineapple.

    This smoothie is great! I accidentally added the whole banana, though, and used a little less milk and a tad more honey and it still came out amazing! This is definitely going in my notebook for Quick Breakfast Options!

    We eat smoothies all year round but I think the summer is when we enjoy them most. I love mango and banana together. I like to add coconut milk and a splash of lime. My kids love them too! Have a great weekend.
