Equipment

  • 1 High-speed blender
  • 1 Sharp Kitchen Knife
  • 1 Chopping Board
  • 1 Large Spoon –
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons –
  • 1 Citrus Juicer –
  • Six Serving Glasses
  • Long Spoon Or Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Cups Ripe Mango Chunks - Approximately 660 g
  • 2 Medium Ripe Avocados
  • 3 Cups Chilled Milk - 720 ml
  • 1 Cup Plain Greek Yoghurt - 240 g
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey - Optional
  • 2 Cups Ice Cubes
  • 6 Fresh Mint Leaves - Optional
  • ½ Cup Cold Water - As Needed

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare The Mangoes

  • - Wash the mangoes thoroughly under clean running water.
  • - Use a sharp knife to cut around each stone, then remove the skin and dice the flesh into manageable chunks.
  • - Measure approximately four cups of mango flesh.
  • - For an extra-cold smoothie, chill the fresh mango or use frozen chunks.
  • Choose sweet, ripe mangoes for the best flavour. If the mangoes are naturally sweet, you may not need additional honey.

Step 2: Prepare The Avocados

  • - Cut each avocado lengthways around the stone.
  • - Twist the halves gently apart and remove the stone carefully.
  • - Scoop the flesh into a bowl using a spoon.
  • - Discard any bruised or discoloured portions.
  • The avocado should be soft enough to mash gently with a fork. Ripe avocado blends more easily and gives your Mango Avocado Smoothie a silky, creamy consistency.

Step 3: Add The Ingredients To The Blender

  • - Pour the chilled milk into the blender jug first.
  • - Add the Greek yoghurt, prepared mango chunks and avocado flesh.
  • - Add the fresh lime juice.
  • - Include the honey, if using, followed by the mint leaves.
  • - Add the ice cubes last.
  • Adding liquid first helps the blender circulate the ingredients more easily. Do not exceed the maximum fill line on your blender.

Step 4: Blend Until Smooth And Creamy

  • - Secure the blender lid firmly.
  • - Start on a low setting for approximately 10–15 seconds.
  • - Increase to a medium-high or high setting and blend for another 30–60 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth.
  • - Stop the blender before scraping down the sides if any fruit sticks to the jug.
  • - Blend again briefly if necessary.
  • Your Mango Avocado Smoothie is ready when no noticeable chunks remain and the texture is thick, creamy and pourable.

Step 5: Taste And Adjust The Flavour

  • - Taste a small spoonful before serving.
  • - Add a little more lime juice if the flavour is too sweet.
  • - Add a small amount of honey if the mangoes are not sufficiently sweet.
  • - Pour in a splash of cold water or milk if the mixture is too thick.
  • - Blend for another 5–10 seconds to combine any adjustments.
  • Make small adjustments gradually to maintain the natural mango flavour without allowing the avocado to overpower the fruit.

Step 6: Pour, Garnish And Serve

  • - Pour the finished smoothie into six clean serving glasses.
  • - Garnish each glass with a small mango slice or a fresh mint leaf.
  • - Add a light sprinkle of lime zest for extra fragrance, if desired.
  • - Serve immediately while the smoothie is cold and creamy.
