  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the mango, raspberries, banana, almond milk, and chia seeds to a blender.

  • Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

Cooking Tips

  • Use Frozen Fruit: Frozen mango and raspberries give the smoothie a thicker, creamier texture without the need for ice, which can dilute the flavor.
  • Blend Gradually: Start blending on low speed to break down the frozen fruit, then increase to high for a smooth consistency.
  • Prep Ahead: Save time by prepping your ingredients the night before. Store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer for a quick blend in the morning.

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Milk Options: Swap almond milk for coconut milk, oat milk, or dairy milk depending on your preference.
  • Sweeteners: If you don’t have honey, try using a pitted date or maple syrup for natural sweetness.
  • Add-Ins: For extra nutrition, add a handful of spinach, a scoop of protein powder, or a tablespoon of nut butter.

Expert Advice

  • Chia Seeds: These tiny seeds are packed with omega-3s and fiber. If you don’t have chia seeds, flax seeds or hemp hearts work as great alternatives.
  • Citrus Boost: Add a splash of orange juice or the juice of half a lime for a tangy twist.
  • Serving Suggestions: Garnish with fresh mint leaves, a sprinkle of shredded coconut, or a few extra raspberries for a beautiful presentation.

Storage Tips

  • Refrigerate: If you have leftovers, store the smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or re-blend before serving.
  • Freeze for Later: Pour the smoothie into popsicle molds for a refreshing frozen treat.
