Ingredients
-
Mangoes: These are the star ingredients of this smoothie recipe. They bring tropical sweetness and richness to the smoothie. I have used frozen mangoes to keep the smoothie chilled and thick without using ice cubes.
-
Bananas: Added for creaminess and natural sweetness. I have used frozen bananas, as they make the smoothie thick and creamy. However, you can use fresh bananas.
-
Greek yogurt: Thick Greek yogurt makes this smoothie extra creamy and protein-rich.
-
Chilled milk: Used to blend everything smoothly and give it the perfect consistency. I have used regular fat-free milk here, but you can use any milk of your choice.
-
Soaked chia seeds: Packed with fiber and protein, chia seeds thicken the smoothie and give it a nutritional boost with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein.
How to Make a Mango Banana Smoothie

Similar to mango lassi, it can also be served as a sweet drink after a meal. For the best experience, serve it immediately after blending.
Storage Suggestions
Just like mango oats smoothie, this banana mango smoothie is best enjoyed right after you make it. It is perfect as a quick breakfast or a post-workout snack.

Variations
Added Fruits
Feel free to add more tropical fruits of your choice to make it a multi-fruit smoothie. You can add fruits like pineapple or papaya to this smoothie.
Strawberry Mango and Banana Smoothie
Strawberries go well with mango and bananas. To make a strawberry mango and banana smoothie, add 1 cup of fresh or frozen strawberries to the blender with all the other ingredients. You might need to add a bit more milk to get the perfect consistency.
Banana Mango Pineapple Smoothie
Love pineapple Coconut Smoothie? Then you can also make a Banana Mango Pineapple Smoothie by adding 1 cup of diced pineapple. And you can swap regular milk with coconut milk or coconut water for more tropical flavors.
Added Protein
If you want to add more protein, then add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. This version makes a wonderful post-workout snack.
Vegan Mango Banana Smoothie
To make a vegan version of this smoothie, replace regular milk with almond milk or coconut milk. Also, instead of Greek yogurt, use a plant-based yogurt.
Tips & Tricks to Make the Best Mango Banana Smoothie
-
Consistency: The smoothie should have a smooth consistency. Start the blender on a low setting and gradually increase the speed to high to ensure that all ingredients blend smoothly and you get a creamy smoothie.
-
Sweetness: Since the bananas and mangoes are sweet enough, I have not added any added sweeteners to make this smoothie. However, if you like a sweeter smoothie, then feel free to add some honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup to make it sweeter.
-
Chia Seeds: Adding chia seeds to this smoothie is optional. If you want to use them, make sure to soak them in water for at least 20 minutes before blending. This resting time allows them to expand and gives them a jelly-like texture.
-
Frozen Fruits: Using frozen fruits is recommended as it helps thicken the smoothie without the need for ice. If you don’t like too chilly a drink, then make sure to use at least one frozen fruit.
-
Mangoes: Using frozen mangoes is advised for a creamier and chilled smoothie, but you can also use any variety of fresh mangoes.
