Mango smoothie
Instructions
Tips
The easiest way to cut and dice a mango is to first remove the two 'cheeks' by cutting around the stone in the middle. Place the mango on a cutting board with one of its ends pointing towards you. Now cut downward with a knife and guide it around the stone. Do this on the other side as well so you get two mango cheeks.
Tips
Place one of these cheeks on a thick tea towel and use your knife to slice down the length of the fruit. Make sure not to cut through the skin. Turn the mango 90° and repeat the motion to create a criss-cross pattern. Invert the mango so the cubes of golden yellow fruit flesh pop out from the skin. Cut these cubes off by holding the cheek at a slight angle. Repeat the process with the other cheek to get your mango diced and ready for the blender.

Sweet mango mixed with fresh orange and lemon juice
A simple mango smoothie yoghurt is made even better when you add freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice into the mix. The acidity of these citrus fruits beautifully brightens the sweetness and creaminess of the mango, and the result is a delicious yoghurt mango smoothie that is sweet, sour, and a little bit tangy.

Add texture and freshness with natural yoghurt
Using natural yoghurt as part of the liquid base for your smoothie is a good way to ensure a creamy and thick mango smoothie. The yoghurt also makes sure that this smoothie can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast meal and introduces a slight tangy bite into the sweet smoothie that makes the flavour profile quite well-rounded.
Make it your own
Mango smoothie recipes are the perfect base for exploring different smoothie varieties. If you are in love with the yellow colour and tropical flavour profile of our delicious mango smoothie with orange and lemon juice, a way to preserve both colour and texture while mixing it up is by adding pineapple. The addition of this bright and vibrant fruit is an even more tropical mango smoothie with a tarter, fresher flavour.
Besides pineapple, a great option when experimenting with your mango smoothie is to add raspberries. These colourful red berries will give your mango smoothies a pretty pink colour, while their seeds will add a slight crunchiness to the otherwise smooth beverage. The combination of mango and raspberry is wonderful as the natural tartness of the berries complements the mango’s sweet flavour.
