Mocktails are popular any time of year, but they’re especially a hit when the weather heats up. If you’re looking for a new refreshing, delicious and alcohol-free beverage that’s perfect for summertime, this Mango Lime Smoothie recipe should be the next one you make.

Key Ingredients

All you need to make this mocktail are the following four ingredients:

Mango: You can’t make a mango lime smoothie without the mango, of course. Not only does this sweet and delicious fruit provide the main flavor of this drink, but mango nutrition also offers a host of vitamins and minerals. In fact, mango is loaded with vitamins C, A, E, K and B6. It’s also high in copper, folate, potassium and riboflavin and provides some protein too. As such, it’s good for the heart, gut and immune system, among other benefits.
Lime juice: The other half of this mocktail’s namesake, you need lime for a mango lime smoothie. This citrus fruit is high in vitamin C and can benefit everything from immunity to the heart and even your waistline.
Cilantro: Cilantro benefits include its ability to help the body detox, combat oxidative stress, reduce anxiety, support healthy blood sugar and much, much more. Plus, it provides a burst of flavor that balances the lime and mango.
Water: You can’t have a healthy drink without water, and it’s the main ingredient that helps you stay hydrated. The recipe calls for spring water, but you can also use sparkling water to give it some fizz or even lime water if you want to enhance the lime juice flavor.

How to Make a Mango Lime Smoothie

It doesn’t get a whole lot of easier to make a recipe than this. In fact, you can have this mango lime smoothie recipe ready in a matter of a couple minutes — literally.

To make, simply add all four ingredients to a blender and blend until it is to your desired smoothie consistency. Of course, you can add some ice for a little added texture and coldness.

That’s it. Your mango lime smoothie is ready to drink.
