Mango Cilantro Green Smoothie

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Lime, cilantro, and mango complement each other perfectly in this zippy mango cilantro green smoothie which is sure to start your morning off right!

During the work week, smoothies are my go-to breakfast – even in winter! I have a 35-40 minute commute to work each morning, so it is the perfect amount of time for me to sip on my smoothie while I listen to a podcast on the highway.

Since sipping the same smoothie day after day can get boring, I am always experimenting with new ingredients. I whipped up this mango cilantro green smoothie last week and have been making it on repeat since. Although you may be tempted to skip the cilantro, I promise that just a little bit complements the mango and lime in this perfectly. I am always looking for ways to use up some of the extra cilantro leftover from recipes and this smoothie is perfect for that!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Banana: use a frozen banana to make it extra thick and creamy.
Cucumber: if you don’t have a high speed blender, try peeling the cucumber so that it purees more smoothly.
Spinach: fresh or frozen spinach can be used.
Mango: fresh or frozen mango can be used. I like frozen because it makes a thicker smoothie.
Yogurt: use plain yogurt – dairy or non-dairy yogurts both work great.
Milk: dairy or non-dairy milks (almond, soy, rice, oat) all work for this smoothie. I like plain soy milk best.
Cilantro: use up some of that cilantro in your fridge before it goes bad! Love the hint of flavor it adds to this smoothie. Pairs so well with the lime.
Lime: pairs perfectly with the cilantro in this smoothie! It almost reminds me of a good margarita when paired with the mango in this as well.
