Why This Recipe Works

For our Takes Two to Mango Smoothie we skipped the ice in favor of flavorful frozen fruit. Ice did nothing but dilute the smoothie’s flavor. Bananas were a must for a creamy, thick texture. Whole-milk yogurt and low-fat yogurt worked well, but tasters did not like nonfat yogurt, which produced a “gritty" texture. We sweetened the smoothie with a little honey to complement the fruit and add extra body to the smoothie.

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients in blender until smooth.
