Mango Kiwi Smoothie:
This mango kiwi smoothie is refreshing and creamy! If you don’t add kiwi to your smoothies yet, I highly recommend it. They add a bright, zippy punch and they’re packed with vitamin C.
Vitamin C protects your healthy cells from free radicals and promotes a healthy immune system. It’s also great for your skin! Yes, please!
This smoothie combines sweet mango, tart kiwi, and protein-rich Greek yogurt for a sweet and satisfying smoothie!
Key Ingredients:
- Banana – I’m fond of bananas in smoothies! They’re naturally sweet and creamy so you don’t need lots of added sugar to get a sweet smoothie.
- Kiwi – Make sure to use ripe kiwi! Under-ripe kiwi taste sour and slightly bitter. Ripe kiwi are sweet-tart like a pineapple.
- Mango Greek yogurt – For an added boost of mango flavor and protein! I used Chobani’s mango Greek yogurt.
- Frozen mango – You can buy a big bag of frozen mango chunks at Costco for a steal.
- Almond milk – My favorite plant-based liquid for smoothies! It’s low-calorie and creamy with a neutral flavor. I typically get off-brand or almond breeze.
How to Make this Mango Smoothie:
It’s super duper simple!
- Combine ingredients: Add the ingredients to your blender. I always start with the soft ingredients, i.e. the banana, yogurt, and kiwi. It’s easier on the blades.
- Blend: Start your blender on low speed, then gradually increase the speed to high. I have a Vitamix and this reduces stalling.
- Taste: Give the smoothie a taste before you pour it into a glass! It’s easy to adjust the flavor/consistency. If you like it sweeter, add a teaspoon of maple syrup.
- Serve: Pour it into glasses and enjoy it cold!
Variations:
This mango smoothie is easy to customize! Here’s a few of my favorite additions:
- Dairy-free: Swap the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative! There’s so many options available.
- Protein powder – Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for extra protein.
- Hemp hearts – Add 1 tablespoon of hemp hearts for plant-based protein and omega-3’s. I bought a big bag at Costco and it’s lasted me months.
- Greens – Add a large handful of baby spinach. You won’t even know it’s in there.
- Fruit – Swap part of the mango with strawberry or pineapple!
Storage:
Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, when they’re frosty and cold. You can store it in the fridge for up to 4 hours without much change in texture or flavor.
Or for longer storage, make mango kiwi smoothie pops! Just pour the smoothie into popsicle molds, add popsicle sticks, and freeze overnight.
