Tips
- I’ve used frozen mango and pineapple, but you could also use fresh fruit. The frozen fruit makes the smoothie thicker and creamier. The frozen fruit also keeps the smoothie chilled without having to add ice.
- If you’re using fresh fruit, consider adding crushed ice or smaller ice cubes to the blender as a way to create a thicker chilled smoothie.
- Healthy frozen treat - you can alternatively fill popsicle molds with the smoothie mixture. Sweeten with honey or sugar as frozen treats tend to taste less sweet.
- Add greens such as spinach or kale for a green smoothie with an extra boost of nutrients.
- Coconut milk substitute - you could also use coconut water or almond milk, however, the smoothie will not be as thick.
- Add natural sweetener - such as honey or pure maple syrup to taste.
- Add nutrition boost - other healthy add-ins could include protein powder, ginger, and turmeric.
- For a thicker smoothie, add a dollop of yogurt (either vegan yogurt like coconut yogurt or Greek yogurt).

Freezing And Storing Instructions
This mango smoothie is best enjoyed right away. However, you could store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Or freeze for longer but it will be difficult to thaw it later.

Hello, sounds wonderful! Could I substitute regular milk for the coconut milk? Thank you!!
Julia | The Yummy Bowl
Hi Elaine, sure you can, but the texture won't be as thick. Or you can use more fruit in this case/or less milk to achieve the smooth thick texture.
