Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana (peeled for natural sweetness and creaminess)
- 1/2 avocado (pitted and scooped for velvety texture)
- 1/2 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen for tropical vibrancy)
- 1/4 cup cashews (raw or roasted, unsalted for added protein)
- 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened for a light, dairy-free base)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (for a refreshing chill)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the banana, avocado, mango chunks, cashews, almond milk, and ice cubes to a high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is creamy and well-combined. Scrape down the sides if needed for a consistent texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour into a chilled glass, garnish with a slice of mango or a sprinkle of crushed cashews (optional), and sip the tropical goodness!

Pro Tips
- Frozen vs. Fresh: Use frozen mango for a thicker, frostier smoothie, or fresh mango for a juicier texture.
- Boost It: Add a scoop of protein powder, a tablespoon of chia seeds, or a handful of spinach for extra nutrition.
- Sweeten Naturally: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of raw honey or a pitted date instead of refined sugar.
- Adjust Consistency: For a thinner smoothie, add more almond milk; for a thicker one, reduce the liquid or add more ice.
