Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Be sure to see the recipe card below for a full listing of ingredients, instructions, and estimated nutritional information.
- Frozen Banana: Pick bananas to freeze that are the same ripeness that you’d use to make paleo banana bread. Swap with room temperature banana but add a handful of ice to keep texture entact.
- Frozen Mango: Swap with frozen pineapple, frozen peaches, or frozen cherries.
- Dairy-Free Yogurt: Select an unflavored, unsweetened variety for the best flavor. Swap with regular yogurt if dairy isn’t a concern.
- Almond Milk: Swap with another nut-milk or regular cow milk.

Step 2 – Blend on high until smooth and enjoy.
Banana Mango Smoothie Variations
The options are endless! We love to add ground flax and chia seeds, as mentioned in the recipe card. But you could also toss in some collagen, protein powder, fresh spinach, or fresh kale. Because mango has a bold and sweet flavor, it’s so easy to increase the nutritional value without affecting the taste at all!
Mango Banana Smoothie Recipe FAQs & Tips
Yes. You can use fresh vs. frozen fruit to make a mango banana smoothie. Just be sure to add a handful of ice cubes along with the other ingredients to thicken it up a little bit.
Add almond milk a splash at a time and blend again.
Place the frozen fruit, flax, and chia seeds in a Stasher Bag and store in the freezer until ready. Just toss in the milk and yogurt when you are ready to blend it up!
Since mango is quite sweet and juicy, it pairs well with less sweet produce like spinach, strawberries, and banana.
To make a mango banana smoothie without yogurt, simply add a bit more almond milk and ice until you reach your desired consistency.
