Ingredients

1.Ripe Mangoes: 2 medium-sized, peeled and pitted (or about 2 cups of mango chunks)

2.Plain Yogurt: 1 cup (for a creamier texture; you can also use Greek yogurt)

3.Milk: 1/2 cup (any kind of milk—dairy or non-dairy—works well)

4.Honey or Maple Syrup: 1 to 2 tablespoons (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

5.Ice Cubes: 1/2 cup (for a chilled and frothy texture)

6.Lime Juice: 1 tablespoon (optional, for a hint of tartness)

7.Vanilla Extract: 1/2 teaspoon (optional, for added flavor)

8.Chia Seeds or Flaxseeds: 1 tablespoon (optional, for extra nutrition and texture)

Production Steps

1.Prepare the Mangoes:

Start by peeling the mangoes. Cut off the skin using a tool or a vegetable peeler.

Slice the flesh away from the pit and cut it into chunks. If using pre-cut mango chunks, you can skip this step.

2.Blend the Ingredients:

In a blender, combine the mango chunks, plain yogurt, and milk. If you’re using Greek yogurt, it will make the smoothie thicker and creamier.

Add honey or maple syrup to sweeten the smoothie. Adjust the amount based on how sweet your mangoes are and your personal taste.

If you like a tangy flavor, add the lime juice. This step is optional but can add a nice contrast to the sweetness of the mangoes.

3.Add Optional Ingredients:

For extra flavor, include the vanilla extract. This will add a subtle depth to the smoothie.

If you’re incorporating chia seeds or flaxseeds for added nutrition, add them to the blender. These seeds provide extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

4.Blend and Adjust:

Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30 to 60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more milk and blend again.

Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend until the mixture is frothy and well-chilled. This step makes the smoothie more refreshing and gives it a nice texture.

5.Serve:

Pour the smoothie into glasses. You can garnish with extra mango slices or a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired.

Serve immediately to enjoy the smoothie at its freshest and most flavorful.
