Avocado in Smoothies
If you're worried that the smoothie will have an overpowering taste of avocados, be rest assured. You will not taste it. It only provides nutrition, color, and a creamy texture to the drink.
Some get turned off by a green smoothie that's why this pop of yellow goodness from mangoes on top makes this drink even more appetizing and flavorful. It’s also the best way to get kids to drink a green smoothie.

Ingredients needed 🧾
Milk - Use unsweetened dairy-free oat milk creamer in this smoothie. Oat milk creamer has a mild, slightly sweet flavor that blends well with mango and avocado without overpowering them. It also helps give this vegan smoothie a creamy texture. Oat milk creamer won't alter the flavor profile of the drink significantly. It's also a great nut-free option. For more options, please see the notes below.
Avocado - Adding a ripe avocado to this breakfast smoothie enhances its nutritional value and provides a delightful creamy texture. It also gives this vegan shake a beautiful green color. If you love adding avocados to smoothies, check out this yummy Chocolate Avocado Smoothie recipe.
Mango - I have used homemade mango pulp. You can also use store-bought mango pulp. Just read the labels to check if no extra sugar is added. You can also use fresh or frozen ripe mangoes. If you love mangoes and want to make an indulgent dessert, try this delicious Mango Phirni. It's finger-licking good.
Sweetener - Use homemade vegan honey. Read the notes below for substitution ideas. Since mangoes are naturally sweet, you can reduce the amount of added sugars accordingly.
Other ingredients - vanilla extract gives this avocado fruit smoothie a nice flavor, and vegan protein powder (almond powder or vanilla flavored) is a convenient and effective way to provide a more balanced and satiating meal.
Hemp hearts or hemp seeds are added as toppings to boost the overall benefits of this blended Mango Avocado smoothie.
Apart from these ingredients, you will also need a high-speed Blender to make this vegan shake with mango and avocado.

Top recipe tips 💭
You can add all the ingredients in the blender at one time and blend it. Separating the mango and avocado smoothies is done for a visual appeal. This mango shake with avocado is very thick and creamy. If you want, add a cup of water or ice cubes while blending to dilute the consistency. There is no need to strain this oat milk smoothie.
FAQs 📖
Feel free to use mango in any form. It can be half a cup of freshly made or canned mango pulp, two fresh mangoes, or a cup of chopped frozen mangoes. Any of these will work.
To speed up the ripening process of an avocado, place it in a paper bag for up to 24-48 hours. The green avocados turn dark green or black when ripe. Squeeze it lightly. It should be slightly soft. If the avocado feels mushy, it is overripe and if it still feels firm, it is under-ripe. If you have extra avocados that have become ripe, freeze them. Use frozen avocado in smoothie recipes like these.
I have used homemade Vegan Honey in this recipe. You can use maple syrup, agave, dates, fruit jam, sugar, dried figs, apricots, candied ginger, honey (if not vegan), or any other sweetener of choice. If the mangoes are sweet enough or using sweetened dairy-free milk, then skip adding any sweeteners.
I prefer using dairy-free creamers (like oat milk creamer) when making smoothies. It will give this Avocado Mango Smoothie a creamier consistency. You can also use any vegan milk like oat milk, flax milk, hemp milk, almond milk, coconut milk (that comes in a carton, not a can), or cashew milk. Cold water, coconut water, orange juice, or dairy-free yogurt can also be used instead.
Greens like spinach, kale, carrot greens, or beet leaves can be added. Other fruits like bananas, berries, dragonfruit, kiwi, peaches, pineapple, or papaya can also be added to this avocado mango shake. Add a juice of a lemon for a zesty kick and to boost the citrus flavor.
Instead of hemp hearts, use ground flax seeds, collagen peptides, or soaked chia seeds if available. Half a teaspoon of turmeric, saffron, cinnamon, and/or cardamom can also elevate the flavors of this thick shake. Add a tablespoon of almond butter or peanut butter to your smoothie for a rich and velvety texture. Sliced almonds or mixed nuts can also be added as toppings. They provide a nice crunch to this smooth and creamy drink while creating a dynamic flavor profile. Shredded dry coconut or rolled oats can also be added.
Smoothies always taste the best when made and served immediately. But if you have to then make it a day before and store it in the fridge. But do not keep it for more than a day. To prevent the smoothie from turning brown (due to the avocado), add some lemon juice before refrigerating it. Stir before drinking it. You can also re-blend it in the blender. Smoothies can also be frozen. Transfer them to ziplock bags or Popsicle molds and freeze them for up to 3 months.

I didn’t have any bread for toast, so was looking for something with mango and avocado for breakfast and found this! Very delicious and smooth, but consistency was too thick to sip, so I added a lot more liquid. I think next time I’ll try water rather than the plant milk. After blending I added some frozen berries instead of ice cubes for color and a post-smoothie treat. Thank you!
