Perfecting My Banana Mango Smoothie

Perfecting my mango smoothie

Last year I came up with this recipe for my Banana Mango Smoothie. I can not leave a recipe alone so I tweaked it and made some changes!

Perfecting my mango smoothie

I am not really into super sweet stuff so what was missing from this mango to make it perfect was a little sourness from some fresh lemon juice. My husband agrees, this takes it over the edge! I also replaced the honey with some icing sugar which makes it even frothier than before which I love.

Instead of just using ordinary orange juice I now add some PC Blue Menu Orange Tropical Cocktail along with:


V8 Fusion Peach & Mango Juice which also has vegetable juice in but you really can not tell!
Instead of using ice cubes now I just buy PC frozen mango chunks since mangoes here on the east coast are ridiculously expensive! 
So here is the recipe, well, kind of. I just throw stuff in the blender and whizz it up but here are the approximate amounts which will make two very generous smoothies:
My Banana Mango Smoothie Recipe
3/4 cup of mango chunks
1/2 cup of yogurt (vanilla works great but you can use plain and then add 1 tsp of vanilla extract)
1 banana
1 tbsp of icing sugar or honey
1/2 cup of PC Blue Menu Orange Tropical Cocktail 
1/2 cup of V8 Fusion Peach & Mango Juice 
1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice
Depending on the humidity, sometimes the smoothie is too thick so add some more juice to the blender and blend until very smooth and fluid. 
Normally I would not bother pointing out the specific company products used to make a recipe but this smoothie really is perfect with these particular juices, they work so great together and this is now one of our favourite smoothies of all time.

    Thanks Nolwenn! You could turn it into more of a milkshake if you have vanilla ice cream. You can use a little bit of milk or you can just omit the dairy altogether and it will be more like a juice than a thick smoothie. Some people use super soft sweetened tofu in smoothies as well.

    Ooooh yum, so refreshing. We make a similar smoothie as well. I actually like to freeze my yogurt to make my smoothies even colder and slushier. My fave juice for smoothies is Ceres, comes in the tetra 1L containers, they’re sooo good.
