Creamy Mango Coconut Delight Smoothie

A tropical, creamy smoothie blending sweet mangoes, rich coconut milk, and vanilla for a refreshing, dairy-free delight.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
1 ripe banana
1 tbsp honey (optional, adjust to taste)
1 tbsp shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
½ cup canned coconut milk (full-fat or light)
½ cup ice cubes (optional if using frozen mango)
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

Instructions

Gather Your Ingredients: Collect all ingredients to ensure a quick, seamless blending process. Fresh or frozen mangoes both work beautifully!
Prepare the Mango: If using fresh mango, peel and dice into chunks. Frozen mangoes are ready to go and add extra chill.
Add Liquids First: Pour ½ cup coconut milk into a high-powered blender to create a smooth base for blending.
Incorporate Yogurt: Add ½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative) for creaminess and a protein-packed boost.
Toss in Fruits: Add 1 cup mango chunks and 1 ripe banana to bring vibrant tropical sweetness to your smoothie.
Flavor with Vanilla: Drizzle in 1 tsp pure vanilla extract to enhance the tropical notes with a warm, aromatic touch.
Sweeten if Desired: Add 1 tbsp honey for extra sweetness, adjusting to your taste preference. Blend and taste-test later if needed.
Add Ice (Optional): If using fresh mango, toss in ½ cup ice cubes for a frosty, refreshing texture.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until creamy and lump-free. Scrape down sides if needed.
Serve and Garnish: Pour into glasses, garnish with shredded coconut if desired, and enjoy your tropical delight immediately!

Notes

For a thicker smoothie, use frozen mango and skip the ice. For a thinner consistency, add more coconut milk.
If allergic to bananas, substitute with ½ cup pineapple or extra mango for similar sweetness and texture.
Always taste before serving to adjust sweetness or consistency to your liking.

Ingredients Notes

Mangoes: Fresh or frozen mangoes work well; frozen adds thickness and chill. Choose ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor.
Coconut Milk: Full-fat canned coconut milk delivers rich creaminess, but light coconut milk works for a lower-calorie option.
Greek Yogurt: Adds protein and tang; use plain, unsweetened for control over sweetness. Dairy-free yogurt is a great substitute.
Banana: Enhances creaminess and natural sweetness. A ripe banana with brown spots is ideal for maximum flavor.
Vanilla Extract: A splash elevates the tropical notes. Use pure vanilla extract for authentic flavor, not imitation.
Honey: Optional for extra sweetness. Choose raw honey for a natural, unprocessed option.
Ice Cubes: Adds chill and a slushy texture. Omit if using frozen mangoes to avoid diluting the flavor.

Variations and Substitutions

For a vegan version, swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based alternative like almond or coconut yogurt. If mangoes aren’t available, try peaches or pineapple for a similar tropical vibe. For a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a tablespoon of almond butter. If you’re avoiding sugar, skip the honey and rely on the fruit’s natural sweetness or use a sugar-free sweetener like stevia. For a thinner consistency, add more coconut milk or water. To make it more filling, blend in a handful of oats or chia seeds for added fiber.

Storage Options

Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking, as separation may occur. For longer storage, pour into ice cube trays and freeze for up to a month. Blend frozen cubes with a splash of coconut milk for a quick smoothie. Avoid storing too long, as fresh ingredients lose vibrancy.
