Ingredients
  

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed

1 banana, sliced (preferably frozen)

1 cup coconut water (or regular water)

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

1 tablespoon lime juice

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

Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the mango. If using a fresh banana, slice it up. Prepare the basil leaves by rinsing them under cold water and patting them dry.

    Blend the Base: In a blender, add the diced mango, sliced banana, and fresh basil leaves.

      Add Liquids: Pour in the coconut water and lime juice, which will add a refreshing zing to the smoothie. If you like a bit of sweetness, include honey or maple syrup at this point.

        Incorporate Creaminess: Add the Greek yogurt to the blender for a creamy texture and a protein boost.

          Ice it Up (Optional): If you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie, toss in a handful of ice cubes.

            Blend It Together: Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high until everything is smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no chunks of fruit left.

              Taste & Adjust: Taste the smoothie, and adjust the sweetness or lime juice if needed. Blend again briefly if any adjustments were made.

                Serve: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses and garnish with a few basil leaves or a slice of mango for presentation.

                  Enjoy: Sip and savor your refreshing Mango Basil Bliss Smoothie!
