Tips from the kitchen

  • Keep the mango frozen until the second you blend. That cold is what gives the smoothie its thickness, so no need to add ice.
  • Use a ripe banana with some brown spots. A green one makes the whole thing taste starchy and flat.
  • If your blender struggles with the frozen mango, pour the orange juice in first and let it sit for a minute. The fruit softens at the bottom and blends easier.
  • Crack the egg into a small cup before adding it, just so you can fish out any shell. Then blend until you don't see any streaks of egg white.
  • Drink it right after blending. Leave it sitting and the banana goes a bit grey and the texture turns gluey.

Ways to vary it

  • Swap the orange juice for the same amount of milk or a milk alternative if you want something less tangy and more creamy.
  • Add a spoon of plain yogurt for a thicker, tangier drink. Totally optional.
  • A small handful of frozen pineapple alongside the mango leans it more tropical if that's your thing.

Storage & leftovers

Best the moment it's blended. If you must keep it, cover and refrigerate for up to a day, but give it a hard shake or a quick re-blend before drinking since it separates. It doesn't freeze well, the texture turns grainy once thawed.

What to serve with it

Good on its own after a workout, but a slice of toast with peanut butter alongside makes it more of a breakfast.
