To make a delicious Chocolate Mango Smoothie, you'll need the following ingredients:
Ripe mangoes: Use fresh fruit and then peel and cut into smaller mango chunks. For an immediate cold smoothie, throw in some frozen mangoes, or use frozen mangoes as ice cubes.
Cacao powder: It adds that rich chocolate flavor but with fewer calories. You can use unsweetened cocoa powder instead.
Chia seeds: It makes for one creamy smoothie and adds a boost of plant-based proteins.

Almond milk: Oat milk or cashew milk are other great alternatives. Although I have never tried it, coconut milk can work here too.
Medjool dates: A few pitted dates adds extra fiber and natural sweetness. Feel free to use less or more.
Optional add-ons: cacao nibs, chocolate chips, and extra fresh mango slices can all be used to garnish this mango chocolate smoothie.
If you want to make this a post-workout smoothie, include a scoop of your favorite protein or collagen powder (unflavored). If it's too thick, add more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
