Tip
Depending on how you prefer the texture of your smoothie, you can substitute a frozen banana for a fresh one. The consistency will remain smooth and creamy while enhancing the fruity flavour.
Tip
The longer you let the mango chia purée sit, the thicker it will become. If you prefer a thick, creamy consistency, just let your chia purée sit for longer until you get the consistency you want.
Tip
Honey plays a crucial role in adding a layer of sweetness to your smoothie, so it is important to choose the right type. Honey varieties range from light, mild, and floral to deep, strong, and rich. Try different kinds to find the one that best suits your taste.

Banana smoothie mixed with a sweet mango chia purée
The base of this cool and creamy smoothie is made of milk and frozen banana. However, the real magic happens when you combine them with the sweet mango chia purée. Both the banana and the mango have a naturally creamy consistency, but when you blend the mango with orange juice and chia seeds, your smoothie reaches another level. A tangy and sweet mango chia purée swirled into your smoothie mixture creates an incomparable creamy texture, perfect for an exotic taste adventure.
Flavourful balance of ginger, honey, and fruits
Experience the wonderful balance of ingredients like ginger, honey, and tropical fruits. With the addition of ginger, the smoothie gets a subtle warmth and spice that complements the sweetness of the mango and banana. The ginger has mild citrusy notes that are very well-balanced by the sweet and slightly floral honey. The orange juice adds yet another layer of sweetness and tanginess that allows all the different nuances to melt together and mingle, resulting in a truly unforgettable smoothie with mango and banana.
Experiment with greens, berries, and other fruits
Get creative with your smoothie by substituting or adding different fruits, berries, and greens. Try using leafy greens, such as spinach, which has a mild, earthy flavour with a subtle sweetness and imparts a beautiful green colour.
You can also go with sweet and juicy berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. To create the ultimate exotic smoothie, consider adding a bit of pineapple. Its sweet yet acidic tang makes the already incredible taste even better.
Also, consider garnishing your beautiful mango and banana smoothie with just a little bit of shredded coconut instead of mint leaves. Not only does it look great, but it also adds yet another tropical layer to your drink.
