I love a good banana smoothie, but you really don’t need one here. Frozen mango and peaches make this smoothie plenty thick and creamy on their own, while vanilla yogurt adds that extra bit of richness. Skipping the banana also lets the mango flavor come through without competing with it.
The orange juice is what really makes this smoothie for me. It keeps everything easy to blend while adding just enough citrusy brightness to balance the sweet fruit. I like serving it on hot mornings when I want something cold and refreshing, but it’s just as good alongside scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast or poured into little glasses for brunch. However you serve it, it tastes like sunshine in a glass.
For the best texture, I always use frozen fruit. It keeps the smoothie thick and frosty without needing ice, which can water down the flavor. I keep a bag of frozen mango in my freezer for exactly this reason. There’s no waiting for fruit to ripen, and I can have a smoothie in the blender in about five minutes.
Helpful Tips
- Use frozen fruit. This is what gives the smoothie its thick, cold texture. If you’re using fresh mango or peaches, freeze the fruit first.
- Add the liquid ingredients first. Start with the orange juice, yogurt, and honey, then add the frozen fruit. It makes things easier on your blender and helps everything blend smoothly.
- Adjust the consistency as needed. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more orange juice. If it’s too thin, add a little more frozen fruit.
Mango-Orange Smoothie
Ingredients
- ¾ cup orange juice
- 2 6 oz containers low fat vanilla yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1½ cups frozen mango chunks
- ½ cup frozen peach slices
Instructions
- Combine the orange juice, yogurt, and honey in the blender.
- Add in the mango and peaches. Blend until smooth.

Notes
- This smoothie is naturally sweet from the fruit, orange juice, yogurt, and honey. For a less-sweet version, use plain yogurt and reduce or skip the honey.
- Frozen mango chunks can vary in size, so some may take a little longer to blend. If your blender is struggling, let the fruit sit out for a couple of minutes before blending.
- Want an extra-thick smoothie bowl? Reduce the orange juice to ½ cup and add a little more frozen fruit if needed.

How to Make a Mango Orange Smoothie Step by Step
Gather all the ingredients together.
Combine all the ingredients and blend: Pour the orange juice, yogurt, and honey into a blender and blend briefly to combine. Add the frozen mango and peaches and blend until thick and completely smooth, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. If it’s too thick, add another splash of orange juice. If it’s too thin, add a little more frozen fruit.
Serve: Pour into glasses and enjoy right away while it’s cold and creamy.
What to Serve with a Mango Orange Smoothie
This smoothie makes an easy breakfast on its own, but it’s also great with something a little more substantial. Serve it alongside scrambled eggs and toast for a simple breakfast. For brunch, pair it with banana bread or muffins. And if you’re taking breakfast on the go, a smoothie and a homemade granola bar or breakfast cookies make a pretty perfect little team.
Storage Instructions
Fridge: Smoothies are best enjoyed right away, but leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. The smoothie may separate a little, so just give it a good stir or quick blend before drinking.
Freezer: You can also pour the smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze for up to 2 months for an easy frozen treat.
