How to Make Mango Banana Ginger Smoothie

1. Prepare your ingredients
Peel and slice the banana. Measure out your frozen mango and fresh mango chunks. You can use all frozen mango or all fresh mango — just adjust the ice accordingly. Peel a small piece of fresh ginger and cut 1–2 thin slices. Grate or zest the orange peel if using.

2. Add everything to the blender
In a high-speed blender or a tall container for hand blending, combine the banana, frozen mango, fresh mango, ginger, water, lemon juice to taste, and orange zest. Add a handful of ice for a thicker texture.

3. Blend until smooth
Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. If using a hand blender, move it around to blend evenly. If it’s too thick, add a bit more water.

4. Taste and adjust
Taste the smoothie. Add more lemon juice if you like it more tangy, or another slice of ginger if you want more of a spicy kick.

5. Serve and enjoy
Pour into a glass and garnish with a sprig of mint or a sprinkle of shredded coconut if desired. Enjoy immediately while cold and fresh!

Tips and Variations

• No frozen mango? Use all fresh mango and add more ice for thickness.
• No blender? A hand blender works perfectly if you’re making a single serving.
• Want it creamier? Add a splash of coconut milk or almond milk.
• Need more protein? Blend in a scoop of Greek yogurt or your favorite protein powder.
• Extra citrus? Add a small piece of orange instead of zest for stronger flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ground ginger instead of fresh?
Fresh ginger gives the best flavor, but in a pinch, you can use a small pinch of ground ginger (start with 1/8 tsp).

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
It’s best fresh, but you can store it in a covered jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.

Is this smoothie good for kids?
