Ingredients & Substitutions

In the blender, we've got mango, banana, nut or seed butter (or raw nuts), chia seeds, spices (use my suggestions or swap them out for your faves), dairy-free milk, and sweetener of choice. Either maple syrup or a date. If your banana is extra spotty and ripe, or you don't have much of a sweet tooth, this isn't always necessary.

Any plant milk such as almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk can be used. Orange juice works well as a sub.

When it comes to the frozen fruit you can either use frozen mango chunks or frozen banana. One should be frozen and one should be fresh (your choice which), so your smoothie doesn't end up too thick and is easily blendable.

Everything else in this tropical smoothie is pretty flexible too. Not got chia seeds? Use hemp seeds or flax seeds instead. No cashews? Add a tablespoon of nut butter such as cashew butter or peanut butter. No mango? Check out my Vegan Banana Smoothie instead.

How To Make a Mango Banana Smoothie

Like all vegan smoothie recipes, this Mango Banana Smoothie is quick and easy to make. Throw everything in a blender, pour into a glass or mason jar and you're done. It's ready in minutes. If you want to turn it into a smoothie bowl use less milk when blending so it's extra thick then top it with toppings of choice like vegan granola, fresh fruit, etc.

SMOOTHIE SUCCESS TIP - For the very best, flavor-packed, smooth, and creamy smoothie, don't add ice. Ice makes smoothies watery and dilutes their flavor. Frozen fruit, on the other hand, chills the smoothie as well as making it really thick and creamy without diluting the flavor.
