- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup orange juice

Instructions

Notes
- Yogurt Options – You can use either plain or flavored yogurt in this recipe, depending on your preference. Greek yogurt adds extra creaminess and protein to the smoothie.

The texture of the Blueberry Mango Smoothie should be smooth, creamy, and slightly thick. It should easily flow off a spoon but not be too watery. Aim for a consistency that is rich and velvety, allowing the flavors of the mango and blueberries to shine through while still being enjoyable to sip through a straw. Adjust the texture by adding more or less liquid (orange juice or yogurt) to achieve your desired thickness. If using frozen fruit, you may find that the smoothie has a thicker texture, which is perfect for those who prefer a more milkshake-like consistency. Ultimately, the texture is a matter of personal preference, so feel free to tailor it to suit your taste.
HOW CAN I STORE THE LEFT OVERS?
To store leftover Blueberry Mango Smoothie:
- Transfer any remaining smoothie to an airtight container with a lid.
- Place the container in the refrigerator promptly to keep it chilled.
- Store the smoothie for up to 24 hours to maintain its freshness and flavor.
- Before serving the leftover smoothie, give it a good shake or stir to recombine any separated ingredients.
- Enjoy the remaining smoothie as a refreshing snack or breakfast within the recommended storage time.
Avoid leaving the smoothie at room temperature for an extended period, as it can lead to spoilage. Additionally, freezing the smoothie may alter its texture once thawed, so it’s best consumed fresh or within the recommended storage timeframe.
