Ingredients
  

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed

1 banana, sliced (preferably frozen for creaminess)

1 cup coconut water (for a tropical twist, or regular water)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to your taste)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (for a zesty kick)

¼ cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free yogurt alternative for a vegan option)

Ice cubes (optional, to achieve a thicker texture)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by peeling and dicing the mango to ensure it blends smoothly. If you're using a fresh banana, slice it into rounds. Rinse the basil leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt and gently pat them dry with a towel.

    Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the diced mango, sliced banana, and fresh basil leaves. These key ingredients will form the flavorful foundation of your smoothie.

      Add Liquids: Pour in the coconut water followed by the fresh lime juice. The coconut water provides hydration and a hint of sweetness, while the lime juice adds a refreshing zing. If you enjoy a sweeter smoothie, mix in the honey or maple syrup at this stage.

        Incorporate Creaminess: Spoon the Greek yogurt into the blender; this will give your smoothie a rich and creamy texture while boosting its protein content.

          Ice it Up (Optional): For a colder, thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes. This step is particularly refreshing on hot days!

            Blend It Together: Start the blender on a low setting to combine the ingredients. Gradually increase to high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no chunks of fruit remaining.

              Taste & Adjust: After blending, take a moment to taste your smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter or with more acidity, add additional honey or lime juice and blend again briefly to mix.

                Serve: Carefully pour the smoothie into chilled glasses for an extra refreshing touch. Garnish each glass with a few fresh basil leaves or a slice of mango on the rim for a beautiful presentation.

                  Enjoy: Take a sip of your delightful Mango Basil Bliss Smoothie, and relish in the vibrant, refreshing flavors!
