Ingredients
- 1
- Frozen mango chunks
- 1/2
- Cup almond milk
- 1
- Pitted date
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1/2 cup of frozen mango chunks, 1/2 cup of almond milk, and 1 pitted date.
- Place the frozen mango chunks into a blender. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can use less almond milk or add more frozen mango.
- Add the almond milk to the blender. This will help to blend the mango smoothly. You can adjust the amount of almond milk based on your desired consistency.
- Add the pitted date to the blender. This will add natural sweetness to your smoothie. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add another date or a splash of maple syrup.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired texture.
- Once blended, pour the smoothie into a glass. You can garnish with a slice of fresh mango or a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired.
- Enjoy your refreshing vegan mango smoothie immediately!
Tips
- Choose the Right Mango: If you’re using fresh mango instead of frozen, make sure it’s ripe for the best flavor. A perfectly ripe mango will be sweet and juicy, making your smoothie even more delicious.
- Adjust the Sweetness: The pitted date adds a lovely natural sweetness, but feel free to adjust to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add another date or a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Customize Your Consistency: Want a thicker smoothie? Use less almond milk or add more frozen mango chunks. For a thinner consistency, simply add more almond milk until you reach your desired texture.
- Add Extra Nutrients: Boost the nutritional value by throwing in a handful of spinach or a tablespoon of chia seeds before blending. You won’t even taste them, but your body will thank you!
- Garnish for Presentation: Elevate your smoothie by garnishing it with a slice of fresh mango or a sprinkle of chia seeds. Not only does it look appealing, but it also adds a nice texture!
