Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this smoothie because it’s light, energizing, and full of flavor. The mango adds a creamy, tropical base while the apple brings a fresh, crisp contrast. It’s naturally sweet, loaded with vitamins, and can be easily customized depending on what I have on hand. It’s great for all ages and makes a colorful, fun addition to my smoothie rotation.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Fresh or frozen mango chunks

• Apple, peeled and chopped (any variety—I like Fuji or Honeycrisp)

• Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt (optional, for creaminess and protein)

• Milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)

• Honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness of fruit)

• Ice cubes (optional, especially if using fresh fruit)

• Optional add-ins: chia seeds, flaxseed, or a scoop of protein powder

Directions

1. I add the mango, apple, yogurt (if using), and milk to a blender.

2. I blend until smooth, adding more milk to reach my desired consistency.

3. I taste and add honey or maple syrup if it needs extra sweetness.

4. If I’m using fresh fruit and want a colder smoothie, I add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.

5. I pour into a glass and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1–2 servings and takes about 5 minutes from start to finish.

Variations

Sometimes I add banana for extra creaminess or a handful of spinach for a green boost. I’ve also blended in orange juice instead of milk for a brighter, citrusy flavor. When I want it more filling, I toss in a spoonful of oats or a scoop of vanilla protein powder.

Storage/reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but I store leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I give it a good shake or stir before drinking. I don’t freeze or reheat smoothies—this one is meant to be cold and creamy.

FAQs

Can I use frozen mango?

Yes, and I often do. Frozen mango makes the smoothie thicker and colder, which I love.

Do I need to peel the apple?

I usually do for a smoother texture, but if I’m using a high-speed blender, I leave the skin on for extra fiber.

What milk works best?

Any kind. I like almond milk for a light taste, oat milk for creaminess, or regular dairy milk for protein.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Absolutely. I just use plant-based milk and skip the yogurt or use a dairy-free version.

Is this smoothie good for kids?

Yes. It’s naturally sweet, colorful, and full of fruit. I often make it as a fun, healthy snack.

Conclusion

Mango Apple Smoothie is a fruity, refreshing drink that’s quick to blend and perfect for any time of day. With the creamy mango, crisp apple, and optional boosts like yogurt or seeds, it’s both nourishing and delicious. I love how easy it is to make—and how it always brightens my day with just one sip.
