There aren't many recipes that only have three ingredients. Let me rephrase that: there aren't many recipes that only have three ingredients but also taste amazing. This smoothie is so simple and is a special way to enjoy perfectly ripe, sweet mangoes. Mangoes naturally have a very creamy texture. They also happen to be an excellent source of vitamin A (great for healthy eyes and immunity) and fiber.
The other two ingredients in this recipe also enhance the creamy sweetness of this smoothie. Bananas just work in smoothies; they are a reliable way for making sure almost any smoothie comes out tasting great. And half of a banana is enough to do the trick.
It's important to include a source of protein with a fruit-based meal or snack to help stabilize blood sugar levels in the body. Greek yogurt packs a big punch of protein so it's a good balance to the sweetness from the fruit, and will help you stay full for a longer time after drinking this smoothie.

There's something else that's pretty neat about this smoothie - because it's so creamy and blends together very well, it will keep in the refrigerator for a couple days without separating. So you can actually make this smoothie the night before and enjoy it in the morning, or double the batch and have enough for a couple of days. Just remember to blend the smoothie completely (at least 1 minute) when you make it.
Don't believe me about making a smoothie the night before? The pictures you see of this smoothie were actually taken 24 hours after I originally made the smoothie. I didn't re-blend it or anything. I just opened the jar I had it in, put the fruit on top, and snapped away to get these pics. :) One last note on this recipe: if you don't have access to great fresh mangoes at the moment or don't feel like taking the time to cut them up, frozen mangoes work just fine!
