FAQ's
Yes! Fresh mango works well, but you'll want to add about 1 cup of ice to achieve the same thick, frosty texture that frozen mango provides.
Vanilla Greek yogurt gives this smoothie its creamy texture and classic creamsicle flavor. Plain Greek yogurt also works if you prefer a less sweet smoothie or want to control the sweetness yourself.
Deb's top tips
For the creamiest texture, use frozen mango. Fresh mango works just fine, but frozen mango creates a thick, frosty smoothie without needing as much ice, so the mango and orange flavors stay bright and concentrated.
Test kitchen notes
I tested this smoothie a few different ways, and really enjoyed replacing ¼ cup of the milk with canned coconut milk. It gives the smoothie a richer, creamier texture without overpowering the mango and orange flavors.
After adding a banana, it really made it much thicker and more like a milkshake and the recipe was ready for it's big debut! If you're making this for breakfast, a scoop of vanilla protein powder blends in well. Just add an extra splash of milk or orange juice so it stays nice and smooth!
