Mango blends into the silkiest texture of any fruit, so this smoothie is velvety even in a basic blender. Orange juice brightens it; a squeeze of lime keeps it from tasting flat.
Ingredients
You’ll need: Blender
Method
Add the orange juice, milk and yogurt to the blender.
Add the frozen mango and lime juice.
Blend on high until silky, 30-45 seconds. Add more milk if needed.
Tips
Frozen mango is often cheaper and riper than fresh. If you use fresh, add ½ cup ice.

Make it ahead
Pack the solid ingredients (fruit, greens, seeds, oats) into a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. In the morning, tip the bag into the blender, add the liquid and yogurt, and blend. A blended smoothie keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake before drinking. More on smoothie freezer packs.
