Cooking Steps

  1. Gather all ingredients: 1 medium ripe mango (about 1 cup diced), 2 medium fresh carrots (about 1 cup chopped), ½ cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup orange juice, 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional), 1 cup ice cubes (optional), 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional), and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional).
  2. Prepare a blender (preferably high-speed) by confirming it’s clean and free of any residual ingredients.
  3. Begin by peeling and chopping the ripe mango into cubes. Verify no skin remains, as it can impart an undesired texture.
  4. Peel and chop the two medium carrots into small pieces for easy blending.
  5. Add the diced mango and chopped carrots to the blender.
  6. Pour in the ½ cup Greek yogurt and ½ cup orange juice, adding to the blender in the order listed to guarantee effective blending.
  7. If desired, add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup to sweeten the smoothie. Adjust the amount to your taste preference.
  8. For added flavor and nutrients, grate 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger and add it to the blender along with 1 tablespoon of chia seeds if using.
  9. Optionally, add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender for a colder smoothie texture.
  10. Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until a smooth consistency is achieved. Check for any remaining chunks, and blend for an additional 10-15 seconds if needed.
  11. Stop the blender and taste the smoothie; adjust sweetness with additional honey or maple syrup, if necessary, and blend again briefly.
  12. Once blended smoothly, pour the Tropical Carrot Mango Smoothie evenly into serving glasses.
  13. Serve immediately for the best vitality and flavor; the vibrant color and revitalizing aroma should be inviting.
  14. If storing, pour into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, stirring well before consuming to recombine any separated ingredients.
