Mango Nutrients

Mangoes are naturally low in calories but high in antioxidants and vitamins. They are specifically high in Vitamin C, which is great for immunity. This sweet fruit is nicknamed the “king of fruit”.

One cup of mango contains over 60% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C. In addition, it provides 20% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of copper, and almost 20% RDI of folate.

This tropical stone fruit has a pit, layer of skin, and sweet yellow flesh. It is native to Asian countries but popular all over the world!

Cocoa Versus Cacao

What is the difference between cacao and cocoa? Cacao is cacao beans that have not been roasted. Cocoa is beans that have been roasted.

Both cocoa powder and cacao powder will work well in this smoothie. Cacao typically tastes a little more natural since it is less processed. However, cacao has a harsher taste overall.

Expert Tips & Tricks

Use frozen mango for best results. The frozen fruit will produce a thicker and creamier smoothie.

Use a creamy nut butter! I do not recommend using a chunky nut butter. Creamy almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter, or even a seed butter will work well.

Blend until completely smooth and creamy. This took about 30 seconds in my Ninja Foodi Blender.

If possible, make this smoothie when you’re ready to drink it. While it can sit in the fridge, it will become less thick the longer it sits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a smoothie and a shake?

Smoothies are made with fruit. On the other hand, shakes usually include ice cream, yogurt, or another dairy product.

Can I make this into a smoothie bowl?

Yes! Pour smoothie into a bowl and top with desired topping.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can make this ahead of time, but it will become less thick the longer it sits in the fridge. I really recommend making this when you’re ready to consume it.

Can I use fresh mango?

Fresh mango is fine flavor wise, but the smoothie will not be nearly as thick and creamy. The frozen mango really makes for a thick smoothie!

Will another milk work?

Yes, any milk works. I used almond milk but any milk works well.

What is the best blender?

My two favorite brands for blenders are Ninja and Vitamix.
