If you're looking for a refreshing and creamy smoothie that's packed with flavor and nutrients, this Avocado and Mango Smoothie is a perfect choice. It's a delightful blend of tropical mango and rich avocado, perfect for a quick breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up.
Avocado: This adds a creamy texture and healthy fats, making your smoothie rich and satisfying without any dairy.
Mango: The natural sweetness and tropical flavor of mango are perfect for brightening up the smoothie.
Coconut Milk: Provides a subtle, nutty flavor and adds to the creaminess, complementing the avocado beautifully.
Orange Juice: Adds a zesty kick and enhances the overall fruitiness of the smoothie.
Honey: Optional, but a little goes a long way if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
Ice Cubes: Essential for a chilled, refreshing finish.
This smoothie is perfect on its own for a refreshing treat. Pair it with a handful of nuts or a slice of whole-grain toast for a balanced breakfast. It’s also a great post-workout snack to replenish your energy.
Start by slicing the avocado in half. Twist the halves to separate them, then carefully remove the pit. Scoop the creamy flesh into your blender. If you're using fresh mango, peel and dice it into chunks. Otherwise, just measure out a cup of frozen mango chunks and add them to the blender.
Next, pour in the coconut milk and orange juice. These liquids will help everything blend smoothly. If you like your smoothies on the sweeter side, drizzle in a tablespoon of honey.
Add the ice cubes to the blender. This not only cools the smoothie but gives it a nice, frothy texture. Blend everything on high until it's smooth and creamy. You might need to stop once or twice to scrape the sides of the blender if any chunks get stuck.
Taste your smoothie. If you think it needs more sweetness, add a bit more honey and blend again. Once you're happy with the flavor, pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
