Banana-Mango Smoothie
Start your day with this flavorful Banana-Mango Smoothie recipe perfect for a healthy breakfast or a low calorie mid-day snack!
I just realized I forgot to wish all of you ladies a happy Mother’s day this past weekend. So…..happy belated Mother’s day to all you mothers reading this here blog! I hope that you were showered with love and gifts. I also hope someone makes you this delicious banana-mango smoothie to help you celebrate!
We had a nice streak of Summer weather going last week which got me in a smoothie kind of mood. I am always in a smoothie kind of mood. Who am I kidding? This week is back to being chilly and we even have a frost warning for overnight! Not good for our newly planted grass that is trying it’s hardest to grow in our front yard. I’m SO ready to pack up my winter clothes but sadly can not do that yet. I can’t wait to be in California later this week. Sun-shining San Diego, here we come!
I saved this smoothie recipe out of a Cooking Light magazine a couple of years ago. I happened to have a supply of bananas and a mango in my kitchen at the same time this past weekend so I threw them in a blender to whip up this delicious smoothie. Definitely give it a try!
- 1 cup cubed peeled ripe mango
- ¾ cup sliced ripe banana (about 1 medium)
- ⅔ cup fat-free milk
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Arrange the mango cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet; freeze until firm (about 1 hour).
- Place frozen mango and the remaining ingredients in a blender. Process until smooth.
This sounds really delicious, Ashley. I just made a strawberry smoothie…that weather-thing must have been getting to me, too!

Hopefully the weather breaks for us soon!
The smoothie looks delicious and perfect for the summer! I know what you mean though with the weather. It’s 70s-80s one day, and then thunderstorming and back to the 50s for the next 3 days before the skies clear again for another peak of sun. Can’t wait till the blossoming of spring into summer!
I don’t know why rainy, cold weather makes me crave summer foods/drinks but it does! I’m weird! 🙂
I’m a little obsessed with mango right now! This sounds so refreshing!
This was my first mango in FOREVER. I don’t know why I waited so long to have one!
Getting a Vitamix blender here soon and am super excited to make some smoothies. Looks like a great recipe 🙂
Happy Blogging!

Awesome! Let me know how you like the Vitamix. I’ve been thinking of getting one myself 🙂
I absolutely need to try this immediately!
You should, it’s so good!
I used to have smoothies all the time, but I haven’t had one in forever. I need to put my blender to work. This looks so yummy!
Definitely do that! They are too easy not to make 🙂
We had a nice summer streak going too, but this morning and yesterday morning – frost! (I totally just typed “frosting” haha) Anyway, I’ve been making smoothies so much lately because I am craving summer! This looks wonderful. Mangoes are my favorite fruit!
Hahaha I laughed out loud that you typed frosting instead of frost. Gee, I wonder why??!! 😉
Mmm I miss summer already haha – this drink is so refreshing!
Cheers

I love summer! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Such crazy weather! If only the weather was as perfect as this smoothie!
If only!!
This smoothie sounds ideal for the nice weather Seattle has been having!
Thanks, Nicole!
I’m loving the great mango prices in the stores at the moment! We’re eating tons, although haven’t made a smoothie yet. This looks perfect – something I’ll definitely be wanting tow whip up! Thanks for this.
Thanks, John! I hope you try it out soon!
I love smoothies in the summer and after workouts and I have a bunch of frozen mangos, so this is perfect! Love the picture, too, it’s beautiful!
Yum! I’m on a major smoothie kick right now, and have one for breakfast every morning. (sadly I’m also on a major milkshake kick, so I’m sure it all balances out somehow.) I’ll be adding this one to my rotation!
I’m doing the milkshake thing too, Elizabeth 🙂
