Ingredients
- 1 cup ripe mango chunks (fresh or frozen, about 150g)
- 1 cup ripe peach slices (fresh or frozen, about 150g)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt)
- ½ cup orange juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
- ½ cup ice cubes (about 4-5 cubes; reduce if using all frozen fruit)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar (optional, adjust to taste)
Optional Add-Ins:
- ½ frozen banana (extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (fiber boost)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (added depth)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (warm spice notes)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (high-protein version)
- Handful of spinach (hidden greens)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (healthy fats)
Garnish Options:
- Fresh peach slice
- Fresh mango wedge
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
- Fresh mint sprig
- Honey drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare fruit: If using fresh mango and peaches, peel and cube into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen fruit, let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly. Taste a piece of each to assess sweetness and determine if you’ll need honey.
- Layer ingredients: Add orange juice to blender first. Add Greek yogurt in the middle layer. Top with mango chunks, peach slices, and ice cubes. Add any optional ingredients between yogurt and fruit.
- Blend progressively: Start on low speed for 15-20 seconds to break down large chunks. Increase to medium speed for 20-30 seconds, scraping down sides if needed. Finish on high speed for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy with no visible fruit chunks or ice crystals.
- Taste and adjust: Sample the smoothie. Add honey if too tart, orange juice to thin if too thick, or lemon juice to brighten flavors. Blend briefly after any additions.
- Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass, add garnishes if desired, and enjoy right away for best texture and temperature.
Notes
- Fruit selection: Use ripe, fragrant fruit that yields slightly to pressure. Alphonso or Ataulfo mangoes and freestone peaches work beautifully.
- Consistency control: For thicker smoothie, use all frozen fruit and reduce orange juice to ¼ cup. For thinner consistency, increase orange juice.
- Dairy-free option: Use coconut or almond yogurt, or replace with ½ frozen banana plus 1 tablespoon almond butter.
- Protein boost: Add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder or increase Greek yogurt to 1.5 cups for 25-30g total protein.
- Sweetener alternatives: Replace honey with maple syrup, dates, or skip entirely if fruit is very sweet.
- Storage: Best consumed fresh. Can refrigerate in airtight container for 6-8 hours; shake well before drinking.
- Batch prep: Pre-portion fruit in freezer bags for quick assembly
