A creamy mango smoothie with an aquafaba foam top, is light and fruity and the perfect way to enjoy fresh or frozen mango.
This mango smoothie is summer in a jar thanks to mango, pineapple, lemon juice and a fluffy top made with aquafaba.
Aquafaba is the liquid found in a can of chickpeas - it's notable because when frothed it creates the texture of meringue, like on a meringue pie. Aquafaba is low in calorie and doesn't contribute nutrition, it's just a fun texture. It's also delicious on a smoothie, especially if you add pineapple or lemon juice to flavor the form. Or you can just froth regular milk with hand frother.

Variations
- Swap the pineapple for any other frozen fruit of a lighter color, such as frozen pears (not peeled), even a frozen banana, although paired with mango might produce a too-sweet smoothie.
- Swap the milk for a dairy-free but unsweetened yogurt, or chilled coconut water.
- Add protein and omegas in the form of a handful of chia seeds.
FAQS
As are all my smoothies, this mango smoothie recipe is vegetarian, vegan, plant-based, dairy-free, and gluten-free.
All things tropical! So add coconut or papaya instead of pineapple.
