Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 orange, peeled and segmented
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 cup ice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Wash all fresh fruits thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue.
- Peel the ripe mango carefully using a sharp knife, removing the skin completely. Cut the mango flesh away from the large central pit and dice into small, uniform chunks.
- Peel the orange and separate it into natural segments, removing any white pith and seeds.
- Carefully peel the kiwis using a paring knife or vegetable peeler. Slice the kiwis into thin rounds or small pieces.
- Add the diced mango, orange segments, and sliced kiwis into a blender container.
- Measure and add 1 cup of yogurt to the blender. Choose a plain or vanilla yogurt for best results.
- Add 1 cup of ice cubes to create a chilled and frothy texture.
- If desired, drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey for additional sweetness.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until smooth and fully combined.
- Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness with additional honey if needed.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing equally.
- Optional: Garnish with a small slice of kiwi or orange on the rim of each glass for presentation.
- Serve immediately while cold and enjoy your refreshing Orange Mango and Kiwi Smoothie.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Fruits: For the best flavor, make sure your mango, orange, and kiwis are ripe. A ripe mango will yield slightly when pressed, and kiwis should be slightly soft to the touch.
- Adjust Sweetness: The natural sweetness of the fruits may vary, so taste your smoothie before serving. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add more honey, or even a splash of agave syrup.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For an extra frosty smoothie, consider chilling your fruits in the refrigerator before blending. This will help create a refreshing and icy texture.
- Experiment with Yogurt: While plain or vanilla yogurt works best, you can also try flavored yogurts or even dairy-free alternatives like coconut yogurt for a unique twist.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate the presentation by garnishing with a slice of kiwi or orange on the rim of the glass. A sprinkle of chia seeds or a mint leaf can also add a pop of color.
- Blend in Stages: If your blender struggles with ice, blend the fruits and yogurt first, then add the ice and blend again for a smoother consistency.
- Make it a Meal: For a heartier smoothie, add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter to keep you full longer. Enjoy your smoothie adventure and get ready to sip on something sensational!
