A simple 4-ingredient mango smoothie made without yogurt. You can use frozen mango or fresh mango to make this refreshing drink.
I came up with the idea to make a simple mango smoothie without banana because I've found the banana can overpower. I added lime, and I think it's essential to make the mango flavor pop.

Ingredients and Alternatives
To make this creamy mango smoothie, see the photo and read below for what you need. For complete details, see the recipe card below.
- Frozen mango: You can use frozen mango chunks. If you want to use fresh mango chunks, add about 1 cup of ice (or 2 frozen bananas) to make this smoothie cold and thick.
- Coconut milk: Use canned coconut milk as it is thick and creamy. Other milk will work too, but decrease it to ½ cup and add more as needed until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Lime juice: Adding lime juice complements the mango. I personally think squeezing and using a fresh lime makes this smoothie incredible. You can use lemon juice or orange juice if needed, as any citrus fruit will give this smoothie a burst of flavor.
- Honey: Adding honey makes this a sweeter snack that is still nourishing! Use raw honey when possible for its nutritional properties. If you eat vegan, you can sweeten this smoothie with maple syrup.
Instructions for a smoothie with Frozen Mango
Follow these step-by-step photos from my kitchen to make your own healthy smoothie blend!
Step 1: First, place the coconut milk, lime juice, and honey into the blender container. This is best practice to support the blades (instead of placing frozen fruit right on the blades) and it will blend more easily.
Step 2: Next place the frozen ingredients (mango) on top of the soft foods and any added seeds or supplements.
Step 3: Start the blender on low and then increase to high speed for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Turn the dial back to low before stopping the blender. If you want it thinner or it is not blending well, add more milk, ¼ cup at a time.
Step 4: Pour this creamy smoothie into 2 glasses. This makes one large smoothie or two medium smoothies.

Danika's Top Tips On Making a Thick Mango Smoothie
- For a thinner smoothie, add a bit more milk, ¼ cup at a time until you get the consistency you would like.
- If you want a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana or add more frozen mango or ice! You will need a high-powered blender to make it thick, however, then you can pour it into a bowl and eat it with a spoon!
Variations and Add-Ins
I like to add some nutritional boosters to all my smoothies. Here are some ideas to add to this creamy mango smoothie.
- Seeds: Add 2 tablespoons of hemp hearts, 2 teaspoons of chia seeds, or 1 teaspoon of flax seeds to increase healthy fats, and protein.
- Make it a green smoothie: Throw a handful of spinach or kale in to increase the nutrient density of this smoothie! Or add 1 teaspoon of spirulina.
- More protein: Add 1 big scoop of vanilla protein powder, or nut butter (almond butter or peanut butter), a great way to eat more protein and healthy fats.
