This frozen peach mango smoothie is made for the kind of hot day when you want something icy, bright, and easy to blend. Frozen mango and frozen peaches create a thick, frosty texture, while banana and Greek yogurt make it creamy without turning it heavy. Chia seeds add a little texture, and the whole smoothie tastes like a sunny fruit treat in a glass.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup frozen peach slices
- 1/2 medium banana, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup milk, almond milk, or orange juice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 cup ice, optional for an extra-frosty smoothie
How To Make It
Add the milk, almond milk, or orange juice to your blender first. This helps the blades move easily and keeps the frozen fruit from sticking at the bottom.
Add the frozen mango, frozen peach slices, banana, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and sweetener if using. Blend on high until the mixture looks smooth and creamy. If your blender needs help, stop and scrape down the sides, then blend again.
Check the texture before pouring. For a thinner smoothie, add a splash more liquid and blend for a few seconds. For a thicker smoothie, add more frozen fruit or a handful of ice. Pour into one large glass or two small glasses and enjoy right away while it is cold and slushy.
Tips
Use fully frozen fruit for the best icy texture. If your peaches or mango are only partially frozen, the smoothie will still taste great, but it may be softer and less frosty.
For a sweeter smoothie, use orange juice as the liquid or add a small drizzle of honey. If your fruit is already very ripe and sweet, you may not need any extra sweetener.
For a spoonable smoothie bowl, reduce the liquid to 1/2 cup and blend slowly, stopping to stir as needed. Top with sliced banana, granola, extra chia seeds, or a few peach slices.
If the smoothie sits for a few minutes, the chia seeds will thicken it slightly. Give it a quick stir before sipping if needed.
Pour it cold, add a straw, and enjoy a sunny sip!
