Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup plain yogurt (full-fat or Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup milk (whole milk or almond, soy, oat milk for dairy-free)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup/agave)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Peel and chop 2 cups (about 300 grams) of ripe mango into small cubes. If using frozen mango, let it thaw slightly for easier blending.
- Place the chopped mango, 1 cup (245 grams) of plain yogurt, and 1/2 cup (120 ml) of milk into the blender jar. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of ice cubes.
- Blend everything on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes until creamy and frothy with no mango chunks left. Adjust thickness by adding more milk or ice cubes as needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired. Add a tiny pinch more cardamom for stronger flavor if preferred.
- Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass or mason jar. Optionally garnish with a pinch of cardamom or a small mango slice. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe mangoes for best flavor; frozen mango is a good alternative. Blend ice last to avoid over-dilution. Adjust sweetness and cardamom to taste. For dairy-free, substitute yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives. Clean blender immediately after use to avoid sticky residue.
