Ingredients:

4-7 ice cubes

1 cup fat-free plain yogurt, about 8 ounces

3/4 cup mango slices in extra light syrup, drained*

1 teaspoon sugar substitute, optional

Mango, optional for garnish

Directions:

A quick tip before you start: always add your liquids and softer ingredients first, then the fruit and ice on top. This helps the blender run smoothly and avoids the blades getting stuck.

Place ice cubes in the bottom of the blender.
Add yogurt, mango slices, and sugar substitute if using.
Blend on high speed until completely smooth.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed, then blend for a few more seconds.
Pour into a tall glass, garnish with mango slices if desired, and serve immediately.

Tip: If using frozen mango instead of jarred, skip the ice and add the frozen mango last, on top of the yogurt. Start blending on low speed for a few seconds before increasing to high for the smoothest result.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use fresh or frozen mango instead of jarred?
Absolutely. Frozen mango is actually the best option for a thick, cold smoothie and is available year round. Fresh mango works well in season — just add a few ice cubes to compensate for the lack of chill. If using frozen mango, you can skip the ice cubes in the recipe entirely.

What kind of yogurt works best?
Plain fat-free yogurt keeps the smoothie light and lets the mango flavor come through. Greek yogurt is a great alternative if you prefer a thicker, higher-protein smoothie with a slight tang.

Do I need to add a sweetener?
Not necessarily. If your mango is ripe and sweet, the smoothie will taste great without any added sugar. Taste it after blending and add a small drizzle of honey, agave, or maple syrup only if needed.

Why does my smoothie have a grainy texture?
This can happen when commercially frozen mango is processed before it is fully ripe. To avoid this, freeze your own fresh mango at home, use jarred mango, or blend in a tablespoon of coconut cream to smooth things out.

Note:

*Mango slices can also be found in cans in the canned food section of your grocery store.
