Ingredients

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed

1 banana, frozen

1 cup coconut milk (or your favorite plant-based milk)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about half a lime)

1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional for a zing)

Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the ripe mango. Make sure to use a perfectly ripe mango for the best flavor. If you don’t have frozen bananas, peel and slice one banana and freeze it beforehand.

Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the diced mango, fresh basil leaves, frozen banana, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, and grated ginger (if using).

Adjust Consistency: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more coconut milk or water, and blend again until combined. If you like your smoothie extra cold, add a few ice cubes and blend until they’re crushed and mixed in.

Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired. Blend one final time to combine.

Serve: Pour the smoothie into tall glasses. You can garnish with a few basil leaves or a slice of mango on the rim for an extra touch.

Enjoy: Sip your refreshing Mango Basil Smoothie immediately, enjoying the delightful blend of tropical flavors and the aromatic hint of basil.
