Mango Smoothie Recipe

If there is one thing my family cannot get enough of it’s Smoothies! We make them for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and sometimes depending on how busy we are, even dinner! I love that you can mix up so many healthful ingredients and make something that tastes good and all my kids will drink up. Mom win!!! This Mango Smoothie Recipe is no exception, it is super easy to make with only a few ingredients and it tastes awesome! It’s one of our favorite Smoothie Recipes! (affiliate links present)
Mango Smoothie Recipe

The National Mango Board contacted me earlier this summer to share a recipe with you from their new cookbook, Mango Eats & Treats, and to challenge me to create healthier eating and snack options for my family.  I was more than willing to participate as we L.O.V.E. mangoes in the Smashed Peas household.
Want to know a few fun mango facts!?  Did you know that an average mango has about 100 calories and is an excellent source of vitamins C & A?  Vitamin C helps promote healthy immune function and collagen formation (it’s good for you skin!) and vitamin A is important for vision and bone growth.  They are also a great source of dietary fiber…so eat your mangos people!

Seriously, so easy.  Cut up your mangos and add to a blender along with the yogurt, ice, and orange juice. I love this mango slicer, it makes getting the job done so much easier!

      We make smoothies with kale or spinach and sweeten them up with fresh or frozen chunks of in-season fruit. Soy milk or apple juice makes the base.

    6. Tanyia says

      what a fun give-a-way! I have to say our favorite way to eat fruits is just fresh, but we do love to put them in the fridge so they are cold! (I love apples n peanut butter!)

    7. KnoxMomi says

      Sweet! I always have over-ripe bananas in the freezer and a bag of frozen strawberries or peaches to make quick ‘n easy banana-strawberry or banana-peach smoothies YUM!

    11. Were Parents says

      Oh my gosh, there are so many way to enjoy fresh fruits and veggies! We love making smoothies or fruit salads. Dipping them in chocolate or cool-whip! Veggies are steamed or baked and enjoyed every night!

    12. Lynette says

      Wow! Love the recipe 🙂 My kiddos are loving the Mango flavor right now 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing and the give-away!

      We just incorporate fruits and veggies into everything 🙂 When we have apples the kids love to get their “own” apple out of the fridge, all on their own. They love to eat fruit, we have a gigantic garden that we harvest all kinds of veggies from and are planning on eating all year long! Every way and any way we can eat it, we do 🙂

      I keep a big bowl of fresh fruit on the counter to enjoy all day long!

      We love the fresh veggies from our garden (eat ’em as we pick ’em!) and then we love (not as healthy sometimes) mangoes and sticky rice as a dessert!!

    19. Graciela says

      We love fresh fruits and steamed veggies! My 3.5 year old daughter’s favorite veg are brussel sprouts and broccli – just straight up steamed, nothing on them.

      I incorporate my raw veggies and fruit into my morning smoothies. I’m addictied to spinach smoothies! (also includes almond milk, banana, cherry tomatos, carrots, crisp pink apple, frozen strawberry, frozen peach, frozen blueberries…mmmmm!) Sometimes other fruits get incorporated in, just go with what sounds good at the time.

    21. Matt & Bekah says

      We LOVE grilled vegetables – just wash, toss with some oil, and sprinkle with seasoning salt & grill…YUM!!! We also love fresh fruit – just simple! 🙂

    23. DeniseL says

      Gosh we love fruits & veggies every old way, but I guess our favorite is the simplest…just straight from the garden. I caught my 3 year old eating fresh broccoli like it was a chicken leg the other day. Almost took a picture 🙂

    24. becky says

      I can put anything into the juicer or into popsicles and they get devoured. No questions asked about what is in it.

    25. Yvonne says

      Super easy and looks oh so yummy. Thank you for posting this. I immediately pinned it and will definitely be using it after we get back home from our Alaskan Adventure. One of my favorites to do with veggies is to sneak them into things, like soups, lasagnas, etc. The kids have no idea that they’re there because they’re pureed. Yet, they still get the nutrition. Mashed potatoes with pureed cauliflower – they hate cauliflower, but it works every time. They say mommy has the best mashed potatoes. Isn’t that a riot!?

    27. Kelley says

      We love smoothies at our house too. I usually add some spinach to ours for extra nutrition.
