Method
Prepare Fruit
- 1
Peel and cube mango
If using fresh mango, peel and cut away the flesh from the pit, then dice into roughly 1/2-inch cubes until you have about 1.5 cups. If using frozen mango, measure frozen cubes and skip peeling.
- 2
Slice banana
Slice half a ripe banana into coins to help it blend smoothly and add natural sweetness. If using frozen banana, measure the equivalent (about 1/2 cup).
Blend Smoothie
- 3
Add the mango, banana, Greek yogurt, milk, and orange juice to a blender.
- 4
Add honey or agave, lime juice, and optional vanilla and cardamom.
- 5
Add the ice cubes last to help chill and thicken the smoothie.
- 6
Secure the blender lid and blend on medium-high for 45–60 seconds, or until completely smooth and no large fruit pieces remain. If the smoothie is too thick, add up to 2 tablespoons (30 ml) more milk or orange juice and blend 10–15 seconds more. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes or 2–3 tablespoons of frozen mango and blend until thickened.
