Ingredient notes

• Frozen blueberries: These give the smoothie a naturally sweet, fruity base and a beautiful color. I like using wild blueberries for a slightly more vibrant flavor, but any will work.
• Frozen mango: Mango chunks bring brightness and a naturally sweet, tropical flavor that balances the blueberries perfectly.
• Plain Greek yogurt: This adds creaminess and a boost of protein without added sugar. Use vanilla Greek yogurt if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
• Milk: I usually go with 2% dairy milk for its protein (and I already have it at home), but any milk works. Try almond, soy, oat, or lactose-free depending on your preference.
• Orange juice: Just a splash adds tangy sweetness and helps balance the creamy texture.
• Chia seeds: These boost the fiber content and help the smoothie feel more filling. Swap with flax or hemp seeds, or leave them out if you prefer.

How to make the perfect mango blueberry smoothie

Step 1: Add ingredients to a blender.

Step 2: Blend until smooth.

Additions and swaps

• Fruits: Add or swap fruits to fit your taste. For a sweeter smoothie, add banana or pineapple. For a more nutrient-dense smoothie, add blackberries, raspberries, kiwi, or orange slices. Any fruit works.
• Vegetables: Spinach, kale, chopped zucchini, and cauliflower rice are my favorite veggies for smoothies. Add a small handful to minimize changes to color or taste.
• Milks: Swap for any milk you enjoy like lactose-free, almond, soy, or oat. For a dairy-free smoothie, skip the yogurt and choose a dairy-free milk.
• Juices: Change the flavor of your smoothie by swapping orange juice for apple juice, pineapple juice, grape juice, or any flavor you like. Look for 100% juice without added sugar to keep it nutritionally balanced.
• Sweetness: Make a sweeter smoothie with a few medjool dates, a ripe banana, or a drizzle of honey. You can also use vanilla yogurt instead of plain, or up the juice.
• Nut butter: Add a scoop of natural peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter for some healthy fats.
• Seeds: Toss in extra chia seeds, ground flaxseed, or hemp seeds for more fiber, healthy fats, and overall nutrition. They also add a delicious, nutty flavor.
• Protein: Use a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a big protein boost. I like whey protein for smoothies, but you can also use a plant-based powder. You can also swap Greek yogurt for silken tofu for a dairy-free protein option.
• Avocado: Add half an avocado for nourishing fats and fiber.
• Flavor boosts: Add vanilla extract, a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, unsweetened coconut flakes, or spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

Storage and make-ahead

This mango blueberry smoothie is best enjoyed within a few hours of blending. I do not recommend making it too far ahead — it can change color and separate.

For meal prep, add smoothie ingredients to your blender cup and store in the fridge. When you’re ready to drink it, simply blend and enjoy.

Freeze in popsicle molds and enjoy frozen.

Top tip

Add milk before chia seeds to the blender — this prevents the seeds from sticking to the blender.
