FAQs
Yes, but if you’re using multiple frozen ingredients, it will take longer. To make the process easier, first, blend half the frozen mango and plant milk. Then, add the remaining mango/ frozen ingredients. Blend. Then, add the remaining ingredients and blend.
Yes, just replace the banana with extra mango or another fruit/ingredient, like avocado (for extra antioxidants and healthy fats) or vegan yogurt.
If you use frozen mango and banana and limit the amount of added plant milk, then you can make a consistency thick enough for a smoothie bowl.
Pro Recipe Tips
- Use a high-speed blender: It’s especially helpful when blending lots of frozen fruit into a smooth consistency. If it has one, use the tamper to push the fruits towards the blades.
- Ingredient order: Add liquids to the blender first, then soft ingredients, followed by tougher/more fibrous and frozen ingredients last.
- To adjust thickness: Adjust how much plant-based milk you add and whether you use fresh or frozen fruits.
- Sweeten to taste: You may not need any if the fruit is sweet enough, so taste it before adding anything.
Storage Instructions
If you’ve made the orange mango smoothie recipe with frozen ingredients, it’s best to consume it as soon as possible before it melts and separates.
If made with fresh fruit, it’s still best to consume immediately (nutritionally speaking), but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to a day or freeze them for up to 3 months (in Souper cubes, a Ziplock/Stasher bag or popsicle molds).
