Are you looking for a quick and easy breakfast recipe that is perfect and delicious? Try this mango and banana smoothie. It’s super tasty and will give you your daily values in fruit!

Why this recipe works

Let’s face it; making a smoothie is no rocket science but you can vary with your fruit smoothies to get different flavors. This recipe has simple ingredients, is very versatile (I’ll give some variations below) and is one of my favorite go-to breakfast recipes.

Ingredients for the mango and banana smoothie

• ripe bananas – I use fresh bananas here but you can also use frozen banana
• mango – I’ve used frozen mango chunks here, but you can also go for fresh mango.
• lemon – the lemon juice prevents the bananas from browning too quickly and also adds a bit of freshness to the flavor
• milk – you can go for regular milk, coconut milk or a plant-based milk of your choice, like almond milk or oat milk. You can also add a bit of Greek yogurt or use orange juice.

If you want to add some healthy fats to your smoothie you can consider adding some avocado which will also give it a nice creamy texture. You can also serve the smoothie in a bowl and add toppings such as chia seeds, hemp seeds or more fresh fruit. I find it a great way to add more fruit to my diet.

How to make this mango banana smoothie recipe

To make the banana mango smoothie you need a blender. A stick blender would also work, but a blender is the easier option.

Add the banana slices, the mango, lemon and milk of your choice to the bowl of the blender. Blend until smooth and you’re done! This is also easily turned into a green smoothie by adding a handful of spinach for instance.

Storing the mango banana smoothie

Storing the smoothie is not recommended as this is really best enjoyed freshly made. But if you must you can store it in the fridge for up to a day. Make sure to shake again before drinking.
