Ingredients You’ll Need
-
Mango Kiwi Smoothie:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks
- 2 ripe kiwis (peeled and chopped)
- ½ banana (for creaminess)
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
- ½ cup ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)
How to Make Mango Kiwi Smoothie
Step 1: Prep the Fruit
Start by peeling and chopping your kiwi, measuring out mango chunks (fresh or frozen), and slicing half a banana. There’s no need for perfection here—just rough pieces that fit conveniently into your blender.
Step 2: Load the Blender
Next, add all your fruit—the mango, kiwi, and banana—into the blender. Pour in the orange juice and dollop in the Greek yogurt. If your sweet tooth is calling, drizzle in a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup.
Step 3: Blend Until Creamy
Once everything’s in, blend on high until you get a silky-smooth consistency. If you love your Mango Kiwi Smoothie cold and thick, toss in the ice cubes and blend again for just a few seconds more.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
Give your smoothie a quick taste. Want it sweeter? Add a bit more honey or agave. Need a splash more liquid? Pour in just a touch more orange juice and blend again until it’s just right.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Pour into two glasses, appreciating that beautiful, marbled green and gold color. Your Mango Kiwi Smoothie is ready to be enjoyed straight away!
How to Serve Mango Kiwi Smoothie
Garnishes
For a picture-perfect finish, top your smoothie with a few slices of fresh kiwi, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or even a little wedge of mango perched on the rim. It’s a small step that adds a delightful pop of color and a bit of crunch.
Side Dishes
Turn your Mango Kiwi Smoothie into a light meal by pairing it with a handful of granola, a slice of whole grain toast, or even a hard boiled egg. It’s a wholesome way to keep you satisfied and energized for hours.
Creative Ways to Present
Get playful! You can layer this smoothie in a clear glass to show off the colors or pour it into a bowl and top with your favorite fruits and seeds for a vibrant smoothie bowl. Sometimes I even freeze leftover smoothie in popsicle molds for a healthy frozen treat.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have any Mango Kiwi Smoothie left over, transfer it to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Pop it in the fridge—it’ll stay fresh and tasty for about 24 hours, though separation is normal. Just give it a good shake before drinking.
Freezing
You can absolutely freeze portions of this smoothie! Pour into freezer-safe containers (or popsicle molds for a fun twist) and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge or blend with a little extra juice to reanimate its creamy texture.
Reheating
No actual reheating needed here, but if your Mango Kiwi Smoothie has thickened in the fridge or thawed from the freezer, simply give it a quick blend with a splash of orange juice or water to restore that perfect sip-able consistency.
FAQs
Can I make this Mango Kiwi Smoothie vegan?
Definitely! Just use a plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond instead of Greek yogurt, and swap the honey for agave syrup or maple syrup. The creamy texture and sunny-tart flavor will still shine through.
Are frozen fruits okay to use?
Absolutely—frozen mango and even frozen banana work beautifully in this Mango Kiwi Smoothie. In fact, frozen fruit makes your drink even thicker and frostier, almost like a tropical slush.
How do I add more protein?
A scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder blends seamlessly into the smoothie. You can also add extra Greek yogurt or a spoonful of chia seeds to boost the protein without changing the flavor too much.
Will this smoothie taste good if I add spinach?
Yes! A handful of fresh spinach provides extra vitamins and a vibrant green color, but you’ll barely notice it in the taste. It’s a sneaky way to get more greens into your day.
How can I make this smoothie kid-friendly?
Kids love the bright colors and sweet flavors of Mango Kiwi Smoothie! Let them help by layering fruit in the blender or designing their own toppings like granola, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips.
Final Thoughts
If you love starting your day with something bright and cheerful, this Mango Kiwi Smoothie is pure joy in a glass. Go ahead, give it a try—it’s easy, fast, and guaranteed to put a tropical spin on your routine!
