“Tastes like a liquid vacation. Every time I blend it, I throw in something new … a dash of lime, a sprinkle of chia seeds. But at its core, its always a taste of summer.”

Equipment Needed
A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.
How To Make The Panera Mango Smoothie
The Panera Mango smoothie is very easy to make:
- Step 1: Place bananas, mangos, Greek yogurt, and white grape juice into a blender and secure the lid.
- Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
- Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
- Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.
Recipe Tips And Substitutions
For ease of use, we recommend peeling and slicing a number of bananas, putting them in a freezer bag, and storing them in your freezer for quick access.
If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.
Swap out the white grape juice for coconut water to dial up the tropical vibe.
Go green with a handful of spinach, you won’t even taste the difference, but your body will thank you.
If yogurt’s not your thing, coconut or almond milk can step in, making this delicious smoothie vegan-friendly.
