Notes
*Or you can use 2 smaller bananas.
CAN I USE FRESH BLUEBERRIES AND MANGO?
Yes, of course, you can use fresh fruit if you prefer. But do keep in mind that you may want to add a bit of ice (about 1 1/2 cups) to give your smoothie more of a frozen texture rather than that of just a really thick fruit juice.
CAN I MAKE THIS WITHOUT YOGURT AND DAIRY-FREE?
Yes, you can make it completely dairy-free. Again, just keep in mind you may need to add a smidge more liquid to help everything blend up really well. Changing it to dairy-free will likely change the flavor, depending what type of liquid you use.
The yogurt, you can just leave out. And the milk, you can replace with whatever kind of milk you prefer, whether it’s almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, coconut milk, oat milk, cashew milk, hemp milk, hazelnut milk, etc.
CAN I MAKE A BLUEBERRY MANGO SMOOTHIE AHEAD?
While I don't really advise it (it's super quick and easy to just blend it up when you need it), you can do this. However, I'd leave the yogurt, milk, and honey out until you're ready to eat it, as dairy mixed with fruit can tend to curdle if not eaten right away.
Just blend up the fruit, and stick it in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to finish making the smoothies.
DELICIOUS ADD-INS AND ALTERNATIVES FOR SMOOTHIES
There are quite a few things you can add to smoothies to add more flavor and possibly, more nutrients. Things that will mix really well with blueberries like…
- Seeds – Add flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds, or goji berries to your smoothie.
- Spices and flavors – Add in a hint of cinnamon, cardamom, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, or turmeric. Or a hint of lemon or lavender.
- Powders – Like oat powder or ginger powder or green tea powder.
- More fruit – Add a handful of strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries for an extra berry kick.
- Yogurt – Use a flavored yogurt. Maybe add a double dose of blueberry with blueberry yogurt.
- Protein – Add cooked chickpeas, lentils, or beans.
- Leafy greens like spinach.
- Coconut oil.
