This easy mango and banana smoothie is one of my favorites. I have made loads of delicious smoothie recipes with bananas, but there's something about the combination of bananas and mango that just works so well.
It's a great yellow smoothie for summer, and it's packed with nutrients and flavor. By using frozen fruit, the smoothie will be extra cold and refreshing.
Kids and adults will love this easy mango banana shake, and it's really easy to customize to suit your dietary requirements or personal preferences.

Top tips
- Use frozen bananas or mango to keep the beverage really cold.
- Serve the smoothie immediately.

- If you don't have a blender, you can try using an immersion blender or food processor instead.

Serving suggestions
I love to serve smoothies as a quick and light breakfast, but this beverage can also be enjoyed with any meal through the day. Smoothies are particularly refreshing in the summer!
If you want to pair your smoothie with a healthy snack, I highly recommend Date Energy Balls or Dried Blueberries.
Variations
Different milk: You can make this recipe with any milk that you like. Try coconut milk or coconut water for a refreshing tropical drink, or almond milk, oat milk, skim milk or soy milk. Different types of milk will give the smoothie a slightly different flavor, so you can test a few to decide which one you like more.
Other ingredients: Try adding strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, peaches, blueberries or raspberries. These will all add complimentary flavors to the smoothie.
Banana mango smoothie bowl: Only use ¼ cup milk, and use frozen bananas and frozen mango to make a super thick smoothie bowl.

Leftovers
This smoothie is best served immediately. You can store any leftovers in a refrigerator for up to one day, however keep in mind that as the temperature of the smoothie increases, the texture will be slightly thinner.
Most leftover smoothies will have a different texture even after a few hours. I recommend that you shake the smoothie before serving it, to make sure that the flavors are evenly incorporated. Optionally, serve over ice cubes.
Frequently asked questions
Mango goes well with pretty much any fruit. Try it with tropical fruit like coconut or pineapple, bananas or peaches.
Absolutely. A smoothie with bananas and mango is a healthy beverage, or an excellent light meal.
Many smoothie recipes include frozen fruit. Frozen fruit has no nutritional benefits, but it can improve the texture of the smoothie by making it thicker and colder.
