This mango orange cream smoothie with yogurt is bright, creamy, and sunny in the best way. Sweet mango, fresh orange, banana, and two kinds of yogurt blend into a smooth, citrusy drink that feels like a soft orange creamsicle with a tropical twist. It is a cheerful option for breakfast, snack time, or a quick afternoon refresh.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 medium orange, peeled and separated into segments
- 1/2 medium banana, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup milk, or more as needed
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 cup ice, optional for a frostier smoothie
How To Make It
Add the orange juice and milk to the blender first. This helps the blades move easily and keeps the smoothie from getting too thick at the bottom.
Add the orange segments, frozen mango chunks, banana, Greek yogurt, vanilla yogurt, and honey if you want a sweeter sip. Blend on high until the mixture is creamy, smooth, and bright orange.
If the smoothie is too thick, add another splash of milk or orange juice and blend again. If it is too thin, add a few extra mango chunks, a bit more banana, or a handful of ice. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away while it is cold and creamy.
Tips
Use frozen mango for the best thick, chilled texture. Fresh mango works too, but you may want to add more ice to make the smoothie feel extra refreshing.
For a tangier flavor, use all Greek yogurt. For a sweeter, dessert-like smoothie, use more vanilla yogurt and a little less plain yogurt.
A ripe banana helps make the smoothie naturally creamy and sweet. If you do not love banana flavor, use just a few slices or replace it with extra frozen mango.
Peel the orange well and remove any thick white pith if you prefer a smoother, less bitter blend. A seedless orange is easiest, but any sweet orange works nicely.
For a pretty Pinterest-style finish, serve it in a clear glass with a small orange wedge, mango cube, or sprinkle of orange zest on top.
