Frequently Asked Questions
This mango smoothie is best drunk soon after it is made so it's nice and icy cold. Once the mango is blended it will become oxidized and start to loose some of it's nutrients. If you can't have it straight away, cover it with some plastic wrap and keep it refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
It's best to use frozen mango to help the smoothie get nice and thick as well as making it nice and cold. It also makes it super quick to prep and make. If you have a fresh mango to use up, just add in some ice cubes and reduce the amount of milk a little. Alternatively you can pour it over ice to serve.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- The best smoothies are made in a high speed blender. If you don't have a high speed one, just scrape down the sides between blends and blend for a little bit longer to make sure there are no chunks.
- Taste the smoothie before you drink it and add sweetener if you prefer.
- This makes enough for one pretty large smoothie. It will easily make two smaller ones and you can half or double the recipe as needed.
