Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ripe mango (fresh or frozen; frozen gives a thicker texture)
  • 1 large orange, peeled and segmented (or 3/4 cup 100% orange juice)
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular; use dairy-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup liquid (water, coconut water, or milk of choice)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 lime, juiced (about 1 tablespoon; brightens the flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for warmth and depth)
  • 1/2 cup ice (optional if using fresh fruit; skip if fruit is frozen)
  • Pinch of salt (tiny pinch to enhance sweetness)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the fruit: Peel and segment the orange, removing any seeds. If using fresh mango, peel and cube it. For frozen mango, measure directly from the bag.
  • Add liquids first: Pour the water, coconut water, or milk into the blender. Then add the lime juice and vanilla, if using. This helps the blades catch more easily.
  • Layer the rest: Add the yogurt, mango, orange segments, a pinch of salt, and ice (if using). Drizzle in honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
  • Blend until silky: Start on low to break things down, then increase to high for 30–60 seconds. Scrape the sides if needed and blend again until smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and adjust: Add more liquid to thin, more mango or ice to thicken, or an extra squeeze of lime to brighten. If it’s too tart, add a splash more sweetener.
  • Serve right away: Pour into a chilled glass for the best texture. Garnish with a mango slice or orange zest if you like.
