Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (about 300 g)
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (240 ml), preferably full-fat Greek yogurt or dairy-free coconut yogurt
  • ½ cup milk (120 ml), whole milk or almond milk
  • 12 tablespoons honey, or maple syrup as a vegan substitute
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup shelled pistachios (30 g), toasted and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup ice cubes (120 ml), optional for colder, thicker texture

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop about 2 cups (300 g) of ripe mango into chunks. If using frozen mango, chop if needed.
  2. Toast ¼ cup (30 g) shelled pistachios in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a blender, combine mango chunks, 1 cup (240 ml) plain yogurt, ½ cup (120 ml) milk, 1–2 tablespoons honey, ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Add ½ cup (120 ml) ice cubes if desired.
  4. Blend on high for about 1 minute until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides once or twice. The texture should be thick but spoonable.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey or thin with a splash of milk if too thick.
  6. Pour the smoothie into serving bowls and sprinkle generously with toasted pistachios.
  7. Optionally add toppings like chia seeds, shredded coconut, or fresh mint leaves.
  8. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use ripe mangoes for best flavor. Frozen mango chunks can be used directly for a colder texture. Toast pistachios for extra crunch and flavor. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup. For dairy-free, substitute yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives. Store smoothie base in fridge up to 24 hours; add toppings just before serving.
