Coconut Orange Mango Smoothie Recipe

I love starting my day with a Mango Coconut Smoothie that feels like a mini tropical getaway. The blend of coconut milk, zesty orange, juicy mango and a frozen banana creates a creamy treat. I add a touch of maple syrup for a perfect hint of sweetness that makes every sip delightful.

I’ve recently been playing around in the kitchen and came up with a Coconut Orange Mango Smoothie that is both super simple and totally tasty. I start with one cup of unsweetened coconut milk and blend in a large orange that i peeled and chopped.

The ripe mango chunks that i add really bring a bright, tropical flavor to the mix, and i love tossing in a frozen banana for extra creaminess. Sometimes i finish it off with a couple teaspoons of maple syrup if i feel it needs a little extra sweetness.

This isn’t just any smoothie – it’s a refreshing, healthy treat that fits perfectly with my go-to vegan smoothies, and i’ve even experimented with smoothie bowls that add a fun twist to the usual Mango Coconut Smoothie. This drink is like a splash of sunshine on a busy day and i’m excited for you to try it too.

FAQ

Coconut Orange Mango Smoothie Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you dont have unsweetened coconut milk, try using unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk instead
• If you’re out of a large orange, go for mandarin oranges or even grapefruit chunks for that citrus flavor
• If ripe mango chunks are hard to find, frozen peaches or pineapple chunks can work really well
• Not enough frozen banana for creaminess? Try blending in half a ripe avocado to keep it smooth
• If you dont want to use maple syrup to sweeten, add a drizzle of honey or agave nectar instead

Pro Tips

1. Try freezing your fruits a bit before blending – especially the banana – it really helps to boost that creamy feel without needing a ton of extra ice.
2. When you’re adding the maple syrup, go slow. Taste your smoothie as you go so you don’t end up with one that’s too sweet, sometimes a little is all you need.
3. If the blend looks too thick, try adding a splash of extra coconut milk little by little until you reach the perfect pourable texture.
4. Give the orange a good look – make sure it’s super fresh and peel it really well so you don’t get any of the bitter pith messing with your smoothie flavor.
