A quick and easy frozen mango smoothie cup recipe with a tangy twist of lime and ginger, perfect for hot days and refreshing treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ripe mango flesh, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen, preferably Ataulfo mangoes)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar (or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (optional)
  • ยฝ cup cold water or coconut water
  • A few fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mango: peel and chop about 2 cups (about 300 grams) of ripe mango flesh. If frozen, thaw slightly for easier blending.
  2. Grate the ginger: peel and finely grate 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger (optional).
  3. Combine ingredients in blender: add mango, Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, cold water or coconut water, and ice cubes.
  4. Blend until smooth: pulse and blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds until creamy and thick but pourable. Adjust thickness with water or yogurt/mango as needed.
  5. Taste and adjust: add more lime, honey, or ginger if desired and blend briefly again.
  6. Pour into cups: spoon or pour the smoothie mixture into muffin tin or silicone cups, filling about three-quarters full.
  7. Freeze: place cups in freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully frozen.
  8. Serve: run warm water briefly over the bottom of each cup to loosen and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best sweetness and creaminess. Freeze immediately after blending to avoid watery texture. Cover cups while freezing to prevent freezer odors. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. To remove cups easily, run warm water over molds briefly.
