It’s beginning to look a lot like summer.
The skies are clear and blue, skirts/shorts/bare chests are out and, one of my favorite parts of the summer: cold drinks are getting cheaper. Like dirt cheap, I really don’t know how these places do it.
When one place advertises a cheap drink, another one lowers their price until now I can get some delicious cold smoothies anywhere I go for $1.
Which makes me wonder: why would I ever need to make another smoothie ever again during the summer? I would probably spend more money making it at home than just picking one up anywhere I go.
That was my reasoning until I realized that even though they had so many smoothie flavors, I could find no mango flavored smoothies. It almost felt like a crime.. a crime that one homemade smoothie can only resolve.
This can also be the perfect way to reward your mother for all her hard work on mothers day: an easy to make ice cold smoothie. Make it now, and thank me later. Or make one for yourself. Because you definitely deserve this too on these hot summer days.
- frozen mango chunks
- milk
That’s it!!
If you want a healthier smoothie where you can hide your veggies, I would suggest you try my Mango Green Smoothie, but if you only wanted just a plain old mango smoothie that you can whip up in 2 minutes with 2 ingredients? This is the recipe for you!

Cathleen, as you can see from my last post, I'm a big mango fan as well.
So this delicious looking mango smoothie is going to be my breakfast tomorrow 🙂
Lovely, this would be a great breakfast.
I can't ever get enough mango in my life! This smoothie looks so good!
This looks creamy and refreshing, perfect on a hot day.

Such mango lassi is one of my favorite smoothies 🙂
Loads of mangoes in the stores at the moment, and at good prices. So we've been eating them like crazy. Haven't made a smoothie yet, though, and I need to. Good stuff – thanks.
I love the flavor of mango, but have never had a mango smoothie before! This looks tasty and refreshing.
To tell you the truth , I haven't made mango smoothie yet 😛 To think there are loads of mangoes here since last month 😀
Happy Mother's Day to your Mom !

Sounds delicious 🙂 I love mangoes! I wish cold drinks were cheap in the UK!
I have definitely been thinking "smoothie" since the weather's warmed up. And "popsicle" – same ingredients, different preparation.
Right on! I love mango smoothies! I grew up enjoying these drinks on super hot days back in the Philippines… the taste of mango always makes me think of my mom. 🙂
