Thick Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 frozen banana, peeled and sliced
- 150 g frozen mango
- 1/4 cup milk, or as needed
- 50 g frozen blueberries, optional, for color and taste
- 1 teaspoon dragon fruit powder, optional, for color and taste
- 1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder, optional, for color and taste
Instructions
- 1
Place all frozen fruits (frozen banana, frozen mango, and any optional frozen fruits like blueberries) into your blender. Allow them to thaw for 15 minutes. This crucial step prevents your blender from struggling and helps achieve a smoother, thicker consistency.

After the fruits have slightly thawed, add only a small splash of milk to the blender. The key to a thick smoothie is to use as little liquid as possible. Start with a small amount; you can always add a tiny bit more if the blender struggles too much.

Blend the ingredients on high speed until completely smooth and thick. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula a few times to ensure everything is incorporated. Continue blending until no lumps remain and the mixture is uniform and very thick.
⏱️ 3 min
- 4
If desired, add optional freeze-dried powders like dragon fruit powder or blue spirulina powder for additional color and flavor. Blend briefly again until the powders are fully incorporated. This step is best done after the initial blend to maintain distinct color layers if you wish, or to ensure even distribution.
