Thick and creamy, sweet but not too sweet, refreshing and nourishing, we simply loved every sip of the Mad Mango Smoothie. I made this smoothie at the beginning of our smoothie journey and I remember that it turned out to be one of the best recipes. Enjoy and share it with everyone you know!

Super easy to blend

Perfect yellow-green color
What makes Mad Mango Smoothie amazing?
Healthy Fats. I used plenty of avocado, coconut oil and nuts (pecans to be exact). I used 3 avocados (basically one for each glass) plus extra virgin coconut oil, and this made my smoothie super creamy and nice to drink.
Naturally sweet combo: Mango, Dates and Apples. For sweetness I used one fresh mango, a few dates and one apple. Let’s dive into this combo and understand why I used all these ingredients:
- Mangoes are made for smoothies! They’re sweet and a bit sour-ish, just perfect for infusing a tropical taste to your smoothie.
- I also like adding apples to my smoothies because they are sweet enough without being too sweet. Apples are low in carbs compared to other fruits and they are loaded with soluble and insoluble fiber.
- Dates are great for making one’s smoothie sweet without using any kind of refined sugar (or other types of sweetener).
Oh! That creamy combo: Mango and Avocado. Mango and avocado combine perfectly in smoothies and they’ll make for a creamy (and tasty) smoothie. Both will add vitamins and minerals to your smoothie, as well as phytonutrients, enhancing the nutritional value of any smoothie.
Lots of Vegetables. When it comes to blending a healthy smoothie, one of my secrets is using lots of vegetables. With time I started appreciating vegetables more and more, and now I’m using at least a few of them every time I blend a smoothie. Vegetables transform my smoothie is such a way that I wouldn’t go back to not using them.
A rainbow of aromas in your blender
When it comes down to “the perfect smoothie blend” there’s no one recipe. My advice is to be creative, experiment and see what works for you. Play with the quantities and forget about the so-called rules. What rules? Exactly.
Experiment with different combinations and find out what you like or don’t like. Sometimes you’ll fail miserably but other times you’ll end-up with smoothies that will taste amazing.
Smoothies are about making that rainbow of aromas happen right there in your kitchen. And it all starts with using plenty of colorful plants, a bit of time and a decent blender (more on this in another post).
Thank you for reading so far and I hope that I inspired you to make a smoothie today. Make smoothies, have fun and enjoy the ride!
