Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup guava nectar or guava juice
- 1/2 medium banana, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup light coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 cup ice, plus more as needed
- Toasted coconut flakes, for topping, optional
How To Make It
Add the guava nectar, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, lime juice, banana, frozen mango, and ice to a blender. Starting with the liquids helps the blades move smoothly and keeps the texture creamy instead of chunky.
Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the smoothie is thick, bright, and fully combined. If it is too thick to blend, splash in 1 to 2 tablespoons more guava nectar or coconut milk. If you want it frostier, add a few extra ice cubes or another handful of frozen mango.
Taste and adjust before pouring. The mango and guava are usually sweet enough, but a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup can make the tropical flavor pop if your fruit is tart. Pour into a chilled glass and finish with toasted coconut flakes for a simple, pretty topping.
Tips
Use frozen mango for the best thick smoothie texture. Fresh mango works too, but you may want to add more ice so the smoothie stays cold and slushy.
For a stronger guava flavor, choose guava nectar instead of a mixed tropical juice. If the nectar is very sweet, skip the optional honey.
Frozen banana makes this smoothie extra creamy and dessert-like. If you only have a fresh banana, it will still blend beautifully.
For a lighter coconut flavor, use coconut water instead of coconut milk. For a richer smoothie, use full-fat coconut milk, but start with a smaller amount so it does not overpower the mango and guava.
Serve right away for the freshest flavor and smoothest texture.
