Ingredients you’ll need
- Frozen Mango: 1 cup of frozen mango chunks makes this smoothie extra chilled and refreshing. It also naturally sweetens the smoothie (along with the banana). Mangoes are very nutritious, high in vitamin A and one of the highest food sources of vitamin C.
- Frozen Banana: I love using frozen bananas in my smoothies. They make it creamy, adds a velvety texture, and make it more filling. You can also use room temperature bananas if you prefer. Don’t want to use a banana? Try avocado or frozen cauliflower rice instead.
- Cacao Powder: It provides chocolate flavor to our smoothie and also boosts it with antioxidants. You can use cocoa powder as well.
- Almond Butter: Natural almond butter adds healthy fats. Any nut or seed butter works, like peanut butter, cashew butter, or sun butter. Note that the flavor might change.
- Hemp Seeds: For a boost of healthy fats, omegas, and minerals. They also add fiber and protein. You can add flax or chia seeds instead. It’s optional but helps make the smoothie more filling.
- Almond Milk: Unsweetened almond milk is one of my favorite liquid base for smoothies. It tastes great, it’s low in calories, and it’s available everywhere. You can use any milk of your choice. Use plant milk (oat, soy, cashew, coconut) to make this smoothie dairy-free and vegan if necessary. Soy milk is great for added protein. If you want to make this smoothie without milk of any kind, use water instead.

How to make chocolate mango smoothie
It’s super easy! Simply combine all ingredients in a blender, and blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste the smoothie and add additional milk if it is too thick. And that’s it.
Note that you do not need a high-dollar blender to make this smoothie. If you use a high-powered blender (like Vitamix or Blendtec), your smoothie will have a finer, more even consistency. But you can certainly make this recipe in a regular blender too. I usually use my Nutribullet for individual smoothies, and it works great.

Tips & recipe notes
- If your smoothie is too thick, add more milk or water a few tablespoons at a time.
- If your smoothie is too thin, add more frozen mango chunks or another piece of banana.
- Don’t skip using frozen mangoes! They add creaminess and thickness to your smoothie, making it more delicious. It’s easier (and cheaper) to buy already frozen mangoes, but you can easily freeze them by cutting them into small chunks (remove the skin and the seed), laying them on a baking sheet, and freezing them for about 2 hours or until they are frozen solid.
Variations, additions & swaps
- I made this chocolate mango smoothie without yogurt, but feel free to add some if you prefer, such as greek yogurt or soy yogurt for a dairy-free version.
- Want more nutrients? Try adding leafy greens to it, such as a handful of spinach or kale.
- Easily add more protein to a smoothie by adding 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder, or even some greek yogurt or silken tofu.
- To make a smoothie thicker and creamier, you can also add cauliflower rice (I swear you won’t taste it!).
- I find this smoothie sweet enough, however, you can sweeten it up by adding maple syrup, honey, or pitted medjool dates.
- You can also add rolled oats for extra fiber.
FAQs
Fruit smoothies can be healthy, as they can provide a variety of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and fiber. However, it depends on the ingredients used in the smoothie and the amount of added sugars. This chocolate mango smoothie is a great addition to a healthy diet as it is made with whole fruits and there’s no added sugar in it.
Smoothies are best to enjoy as soon as they are made. If you can’t enjoy this chocolate mango smoothie straight away, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Note that it’ll be less creamy and it’ll not taste so fresh.
Yes, smoothies can be frozen for longer storage. I recommend using an ice cube tray to make it easier to thaw when ready to consume. You can also blend the smoothie cubes with additional liquid (such as your preferred milk or water) so that you won’t need to wait for it to thaw.
