Ingredients You’ll Need
-
Fruit Mixture:
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 banana
Smoothie Base:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
How to Make Mango Kiwi Smoothie
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Start by peeling and chopping your mango and kiwis (this step is key for the smoothest blend). Slice the banana—no need to freeze it—and measure out your yogurt, juice, and ice cubes. Optional but recommended: prep everything ahead of time and keep your fruit chilled for an even frostier sip.
Step 2: Load Up the Blender
Add all the chopped mango, sliced kiwis, banana pieces, Greek yogurt, orange juice, and ice cubes to your blender. Layering the softer fruit on the bottom and ice on top helps the blender blades get going smoothly right from the start.
Step 3: Blend Until Velvety
Secure the lid and blend on high speed until your Mango Kiwi Smoothie is ultra-creamy and completely smooth, with gorgeous green and gold undertones. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender.
Step 4: Taste and Sweeten
Before pouring, taste the smoothie. If you crave a little more sweetness, drizzle in a tablespoon of honey and blend again for just a few seconds. This extra step ensures your Mango Kiwi Smoothie is suited perfectly to your personal sweet tooth.
Step 5: Serve Right Away
Pour the finished smoothie into two glasses, taking a moment to admire that vibrant color. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor—nothing beats a freshly blended Mango Kiwi Smoothie!
How to Serve Mango Kiwi Smoothie
Garnishes
A little garnish goes a long way with this smoothie! Top each glass with a slice of fresh kiwi, a wedge of mango, or even a sprinkle of chia seeds for a fun crunch and an extra pop of color. For special occasions, a swirl of coconut yogurt or a scatter of shredded coconut takes it to the next level.
Side Dishes
This smoothie is wonderfully filling on its own, but pairs beautifully with a crisp granola bar, a light breakfast muffin, or even a simple bowl of mixed berries. If you’re making brunch, serve it alongside whole grain toast or scrambled eggs for a satisfying, balanced meal that celebrates fruity flavors.
Creative Ways to Present
Try serving your Mango Kiwi Smoothie in tall, clear glasses or mason jars to show off the colors, or layer the blended mango and kiwi portions for a striking two-tone look. For a party, pour into small glass bottles with pretty straws, or freeze the mixture in popsicle molds for a healthy summer treat kids and adults will love.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have extra Mango Kiwi Smoothie, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate promptly. It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake or stir before enjoying, as separation may occur naturally.
Freezing
For longer storage, freeze your Mango Kiwi Smoothie in individual portions using freezer-safe jars or silicone molds. Once frozen, the smoothie will keep beautifully for up to 2 months. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight, or toss the frozen cubes back in the blender for an instant slushy treat.
Reheating
Although you won’t need to “reheat” a Mango Kiwi Smoothie, if it has thickened in the fridge or after freezing, simply blend it briefly with a splash of juice or water to revive its creamy, silky texture.
FAQs
Can I make this Mango Kiwi Smoothie vegan?
Absolutely! Just swap the Greek yogurt for your favorite plant-based alternative, like coconut or almond yogurt. The result is just as creamy and delicious without any dairy.
What other fruits can I add to this smoothie?
This smoothie is a great canvas for creativity! Pineapple, papaya, or a handful of spinach or kale all blend in beautifully for extra nutrients and flavor. Just keep the mango and kiwi as your stars to preserve the classic taste.
Do I need to add ice, or can I use frozen fruit?
If you prefer a super-frosty smoothie, you can absolutely use frozen mango or banana and skip some or all of the ice. This makes the Mango Kiwi Smoothie even creamier and eliminates the chance of it getting watered down.
How can I boost the protein or nutrition?
For extra staying power, toss in a scoop of protein powder, a tablespoon of chia seeds, flaxseed, or even a handful of oats before blending. These additions thicken the smoothie and keep you full for longer.
Is this a good smoothie for kids?
Kids love the sweet taste and fun color of this Mango Kiwi Smoothie! It’s also an easy way to sneak in extra fruit and nutrients. For little ones, skip the honey if serving to children under one year old.
