This easy Banana Mango Smoothie recipe is made with fruit and dairy free milk, so it’s entirely plant based/vegan yet still super creamy. A refreshing tropical morning treat!
This is one of my all-time favorite smoothies. I’ve been making it for the last 10 years and it’s just the best. I even bring it with me in a thermos for travel and it’s definitely the drink that made me like bananas.
It’s very easy to blend up with just a few ingredients, and comes out incredibly creamy without a single drop of dairy! Not that I don’t like dairy, but I don’t always love fruit with milk, so it’s great to have alternatives.
Ingredients you’ll need
Here is a visual overview of the ingredients in the recipe. Scroll down to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for quantities!
Ingredient notes
- Mango: A lot of the creaminess in this smoothie comes from the frozen mango, so I do not recommend substituting fresh.
- Banana: You can also use a frozen banana, but I find it makes it hard to get the smoothie to blend.
- Orange: I throw a whole orange into the smoothie for juiciness and a little tang (I peel it and cut it into 8 pieces, I don’t add it in full, just for your information). If you do not have a strong blender, I recommend either filleting the orange or using just its juice.
- Lime juice: This is optional, but adds a nice flavor to the smoothie!
- Milk: You can use any non-dairy milk you enjoy. I used an unsweetened coconut almond milk which was very delicious with the mango and banana.
How to make a Banana Mango Smoothie
I recommend pouring the milk into the blender first, then add the remaining ingredients on top for easier blending.
Then just blend until smooth and serve immediately!
Recipe tips
- If you don’t have a powerful blender, I recommend blending everything without the mango first, then adding it gradually until everything is blended smooth.
- I recommend serving the smoothie immediately. If you want to take it with you, keep it well chilled in a cooler for up to two hours.
- You may need to use the pusher that came with your blender to get the smoothie to blend. If it doesn’t blend at all, add a little more milk.

Ok..turns out i used peaches instead of mangos so…thats why it tasted more like orange instead of mango. XD
Nora says
?? your comments made me laugh! I hope it at least tasted of peach!
Matthew Starr says
A little too much orange flavor instead of mango but still very good and refreshing 🙂 I’ll give it 4 stars.
Matthew Starr says
But Don’t get me wrong still very OHH SOO DELICIOUS!! XD I love it??
Rachel says
This came out great! The original recipe came out a little thick, so I modified the recipe by adding half a cucumber (skin peeled), mint leaves, and juicing a large orange rather than store bought orange juice. This gave me the consistency I was looking for. Next time I’d make it a little less sweet by not using the full 2 cups of frozen mango.
Nora Rusev says
I love your modifications, Rachel! I’ll have to try your idea with the cucumber, super intrigued by that!
marcie says
I don’t make smoothies enough either even with my Vitamix! This is definitely one recipe I would enjoy because I love banana and mango in my smoothies. This is so pretty, Nora!

I’ve been a parent for *ahem* quite a few years, but I still don’t think I have my act together! Fortunately, as they get bigger they can make their own smoothies 🙂 I will be sharing your yummy smoothie with my teenager, who gets up at an ungodly hour for school (consequently having to make her own breakfast). Beautiful pictures too!!
Sarah @Whole and Heavenly Oven says
Well, if this isn’t just the prettiest smoothie EVER! It looks like total liquid gold in a glass and I’m kinda digging it! Gotta love a smoothie that only calls for FOUR ingredients!!
Denise @ Sweet Peas & Saffron says
Well isn’t this just a glass full of sunshine? I was SUPER good at making a morning smoothie when I was pregnant, but since then I haven’t been so good at it. Time to get back at it!
Medha says
I love bananas and mangos and so rarely enjoy them together- this vegan smoothie is delish 🙂
