Ingredients
  

  • 2 fresh mangoes or 2 cups frozen mango
  • 1 small frozen banana (or half of a large banana), you can use unfrozen if using frozen mango
  • ½ cup milk dairy or dairy-free
  • ½ cup yogurt dairy or dairy-free
  • ½ inch fresh ginger peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Equipment

  • blender
  • Tamper
  • Mason Jar
  • Straws

Method
 

Prep Your Fruit
  1. If using fresh mangoes, peel and carefully chop them, discarding the pit. Peel your banana. Next, prepare your secret weapon: peel and roughly chop the 1/2 inch of fresh ginger.
Add to Blender
  1. Carefully place all your ingredients into your high-powered blender. Start with the prepared mango (fresh or frozen), followed by the banana, ½ cup of milk, ½ cup of yogurt, your fresh ginger, and the tablespoon of fresh lime juice.
Blend to Perfection
  1. Secure the lid on your blender and start blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until utterly smooth and creamy, ensuring no chunks remain. This typically takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender.
Using a Tamper (if needed)
  1. If you're using a high-powered blender and find your smoothie is too thick or ingredients are getting stuck, use the tamper tool. This allows you to push the ingredients down towards the blades without opening the lid, ensuring all components are fully incorporated for optimal smoothness.

Notes

Ideally, enjoy fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days, or freeze for 1-2 months. Re-blend or shake before serving. For best results, use at least one frozen fruit (mango or banana) and add liquids first when blending.
