A Blueberry Mango Smoothie is a colorful, fruity drink made by blending sweet mangoes with juicy blueberries and creamy liquid like milk or yogurt. It’s thick, cold, and naturally sweet, which makes it feel like a treat even though it’s packed with good for you ingredients. This smoothie is popular for breakfast, snacks, or even a light dessert because it’s quick to make and doesn’t require cooking. The bright purple color comes mostly from the blueberries, while the mango adds sunshine-like sweetness and smooth texture.
What makes this smoothie extra special is how well the flavors work together. Blueberries have a slightly tart taste, while mangoes are sweet and tropical. When blended, they balance each other perfectly, so you don’t usually need to add extra sugar. Even kids who say they don’t like fruit often enjoy this smoothie because it tastes like a creamy milkshake but is made mostly from fruit.

Ingredients you’ll need for Blueberry Mango Smoothie
Here is everything you need to make Blueberry Mango Smoothie:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks
- 1 ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess
- 1 cup milk regular milk, almond milk, or oat milk all work
- ½ cup plain or vanilla yogurt optional but recommended for thickness
- ½ cup ice cubes optional, if using fresh fruit
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, only if needed
How to Make Blueberry Mango Smoothie
Step 1
Start by preparing all your fruit so everything is ready before blending. If you’re using fresh mango, carefully peel it and cut it into small chunks. If you’re using frozen mango and blueberries, there’s no prep needed, which makes this recipe even faster. Peel the banana and break it into a few pieces so it blends more easily. Having all ingredients ready helps the smoothie blend smoothly without stopping too often.
Step 2
Next, add the liquid ingredients to the blender first. Pour in the milk and yogurt before adding the fruit. This helps the blender blades move more easily and prevents the fruit from sticking to the bottom. After the liquid is in, add the blueberries, mango chunks, banana, and ice if you’re using it. If you like your smoothie sweeter, drizzle in a little honey or maple syrup, but it’s best to taste it first before adding any sweetener.
Step 3
Put the lid on the blender tightly and start blending on a low speed. Slowly increase to a higher speed and blend for about 30–60 seconds. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides if needed, then blend again until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. The finished smoothie should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen fruit pieces and blend again.
Step 4
Once blended, pour the smoothie into a tall glass and serve right away. You can add a straw, a spoon, or even a few extra blueberries on top if you want it to look extra fun. This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh while it’s cold and creamy.
