5-Star Review
“I love your smoothies! Perfect that it’s so easy to make! Will be making this, soon! Thanks for sharing!” -Andi
I’m a big smoothie lover, but gathering up all the various fruits and powders always feels so tedious. This mango smoothie recipe is super simple, though—no fancy or complicated ingredients required. I always keep frozen mango in my freezer for this smoothie. It just makes me happy and makes me look forward to getting out of bed in the morning!
Tips for Success
- While milk gives this drink a more creamy flavor and texture, you can make a scrumptious smoothie with just a splash of water or juice.
- Add a scoop of protein powder to this smoothie for a tasty and nutritious smoothie to keep you going all morning long!
- If you like your smoothie a little thinner, simply add more milk after blending, and more mango if you prefer it thicker.
- You can turn this little smoothie into a creamy cocktail. Just add a little bit of tequila or vodka and cheers! You’ve got yourself one dreamy dessert for happy hour!

How to Make a Mango Smoothie Step by Step
Blend the Smoothie: Combine 16 ounces (1 bag) of frozen mango, 1½ cups of almond milk, and 1 tablespoon of honey in a blender and pulse until fully combined. If too thick, add more milk; if too thin, add more mango.
Serve the Smoothie: Divide equally between 4 glasses and serve.
How to Store
Fruit smoothies are best enjoyed as soon as they are made, as once the fruits are blended they start to slowly lose their nutrients. This mango smoothie will keep well covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Serving Suggestions
This quick and easy mango smoothie recipe is a great low-cal breakfast or snack all by itself, but I like to pair it with my a Starbucks copycat egg bites or a few handfuls of my favorite trail mix when I’m on the go all day. Enjoy it at home with a slice of zucchini bread for a delicious treat!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
