Description

A Mango Coconut Smoothie is a creamy, dairy-free drink blending mango chunks, coconut milk, and orange juice. It’s a refreshing and nutritious beverage with tropical flavors, perfect for any time of the day, enjoyed by both kids and adults.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen mango chunks
  • 1 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)
  • Fresh mint leaves or mango slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Start by placing 1 cup of mango chunks, 1 cup of coconut milk, and 1/2 cup of orange juice into a high-powered blender.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a rich, creamy consistency, or opt for light coconut milk for a lower-calorie version.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

  • Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy, which should take about 1-2 minutes. If needed, pause to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Taste the smoothie and if you prefer it sweeter, add 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup and blend again until the sweetener is fully mixed in.

Step 3: Adjust the Consistency

  • If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high until the ice is completely crushed and the smoothie reaches your desired consistency.
  • If a thinner smoothie is preferred, you can skip this step or add a splash of water or additional orange juice to adjust the thickness.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  • Pour the smoothie into glasses. For an extra touch of freshness and visual appeal, garnish with fresh mint leaves or mango slices.
  • Serve the smoothie immediately to enjoy it at its best consistency and flavor.

Notes

  • For an extra nutritional boost, add a handful of spinach or a scoop of protein powder.
  • If using fresh mango, make sure it is fully ripe for the best flavor.
  • You can substitute the orange juice with pineapple juice for a different tropical twist.
