Banana Mango Smoothie FAQs
What fruit blends well with mango?
Pineapple, banana, peach, strawberry, and aloe vera are all great additions to a banana mango smoothie. Each of these fruits adds its unique flavor and sweetness. For a more tropical flavor, try adding some coconut milk or fresh lime juice to the mix.
What fruit blends well with banana?
Banana pairs nicely with almost any other fruit, including strawberries, and apples. For a more exotic flavor, try adding mango, papaya, kiwi, or pineapple. The banana brings a creamy sweetness to the smoothie that is balanced by the tartness of the other fruits.
Which fruits should not be mixed or combined?
Most fruits can be mixed but some combinations should be avoided. For example, bananas and avocados don’t blend well when making smoothies. Additionally, bananas and grapefruit are not a good combination either.
Which fruits should not be mixed with milk?
Fruits like pineapple, kiwi, and oranges should not be mixed with dairy milk as these fruits can curdle the milk when combined. It’s best to use a non-dairy alternative such as almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk for these types of smoothies.
