Similar to a mango lassi, this simple protein-packed smoothie requires only three ingredients — mango, Greek yogurt and almond milk. Creamy, cool and deliciously refreshing on a hot summer day.
I love apples, pumpkin and butternut squash just as much as next girl but I’m so not ready to give up on summer just yet. It’s still hot here in Richmond, our farmers market is still loaded with summer produce and it’s definitely still smoothie season in my mind. Who’s with me on this?
If you’re shaking your head yes, I have JUST the smoothie recipe for you!
It’s similar to a mango lassi, only a tad healthier because I stuck with three simple ingredients (protein-packed Greek yogurt, unsweetened vanilla almondmilk and frozen mango) and skipped with added sugar and cream. I didn’t add any Indian spices, but next time I make it I am going to add some because I bet it would be delish and cardamom has some amazing health benefits.
I used plain Greek yogurt and unsweetened almond milk so the smoothie is a bit tart and not over-the-top sweet. That said, if you like sweeter smoothies feel free to use a flavored Greek yogurt or sweetened almond milk.
It’s refreshing, extra creamy and excellent for sipping poolside. <— I know this because I tested it last weekend. Ready to dive in? Here’s the recipe.

Sounds delicious! I vote it’s ALWAYS smoothie season! 🙂
I second that vote. 🙂
Everything goes with Mangos! Thanks you for this recipe!
Yum! I love how simple and easy this is. Great idea to add a pinch of cardamom. I bet a pinch of garam masala would be fabulous too! Can’t wait to dive in and drink up!

Sounds like a delicious combination!!
I had the best mango lassi from this authentic Indian place near my school, but I haven’t had one since. But this recipe is definitely inspiring me! 🙂
Yum, this looks so refreshing and delicious! Such a simple recipe too, love it!
This sounds delicious! I love mango!
I tried this receipe today with a 50/50 ratio of almond milk and pineapple juice. It was delicious and satisfying.
Yum! Pineapple juice sounds like a wonderful addition. Glad you enjoyed it!!
This looks delicious! I LOVE frozen mango straight from the bag. Next time I should actually save some for a smoothie 😉
Me tooo! It’s so good. 🙂
I’m with you, girl! I’m not ready to leave summer behind, even though fall is amazing. Love me some mango!
Great recipe, but skip the almond breeze almond milk!!! It contain carrageenan—look it up-it’s not healthy and causes inflammation.
Hi Monica. Just as an update, Almond Breeze is currently phasing out carrageenan from their products. First to market are Unsweetened Original and Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze shelf stable varieties, which are appearing on store shelves now. All Almond Breeze products will be carrageenan-free by early 2016!!
I just made this smoothie for my whole family and they loved ittttt! I just added a little bit of honey to make it sweeter. I usually suck at cooking but this recipe is so simple and easy even I nailed it!
Found this on Pinterest and sitting drinking it now. It’s actually amazing! Tastiest smoothie eve! I used fresh mango and it’s just divine! Thank you xxxx
Can you substitute almond milk with normal milk, for example Hiland 2% fat milk?
Sure!
This is our favorite smoothie. I add a fresh mango (one or two if you like it stronger), milk or soy or almond milk, live culture yogurt, flax seed oil, a dash of nutmeg or cardamom. Mango is a subtle flavor and people often buy the puree or slices in cans. Frozen mango should be just as good although with mango in season I have not tried it. Not everyone likes the taste of mango and it can always be mixed with other fruits to your own taste. We use coconut sugar or sugar substitute because some mangos are just not that sweet.
What a simple and easy smoothie recipe. We love mango smoothies and can’t wait to give this one a try. It looks so delicious!
It’s really good I made it this morning…. but is it really 823 calories?
Hey T! Something went wonky with the nutrition facts. I just updated them so they’re correct now. It’s 190 cals for the smoothie, not 823!!!! 🙂
