Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 cup stone fruits (peaches or nectarines), diced
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Take the ripe mango, peel it, and then dice it into small cubes. Make sure to remove the pit completely. Set aside the diced mango.
- Next, take your stone fruits, which can be peaches or nectarines. Wash them thoroughly under running water. Once clean, slice them in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small pieces similar in size to the mango.
- In a blender, add the diced mango and stone fruits. Make sure to include all the fruit pieces for a balanced flavor.
- Add 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt to the blender. This will give your smoothie a creamy texture and add protein.
- Pour in 1 cup of almond milk. This will help blend the ingredients smoothly and add a nice, nutty flavor to your smoothie.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add 1 tablespoon of honey. This step is optional, so adjust according to your taste preference.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 30-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or a bit more fruit.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses. You can optionally garnish with a slice of mango or a few pieces of diced stone fruit on top for presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Summer Mango Stone Fruit Smoothie!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Fruits: For the best flavor, make sure your mango and stone fruits are perfectly ripe. They should yield slightly to pressure and have a sweet aroma.
- Chill Your Ingredients: If you want an extra refreshing smoothie, chill your fruits in the refrigerator before blending. You can also use frozen fruits for a thicker consistency.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness of your smoothie by adding more or less honey. You can also experiment with other natural sweeteners like agave syrup or maple syrup.
- Add Extras: Boost the nutritional value by adding a handful of spinach or kale for a green twist, or throw in some chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3s.
- Blend to Perfection: Blend your ingredients on high speed until smooth. If your smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Presentation Matters: For a beautiful presentation, garnish your smoothie with a slice of mango or a few pieces of diced stone fruit on top before serving.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your smoothie fresh for the best taste and texture. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but be aware it may separate.
