Quick 4-Ingredient Mango Smoothie

One of the most refreshing smoothies I make in the morning is the mango banana smoothie. This recipe always turns out creamy, smooth, and delicious! Using Braun’s MultiQuick Hand Blender I have any smoothie ready in just minutes.

How to Make a Mango Smoothie

Blend the following ingredients until smooth:

1 cup diced frozen mango
1 banana
3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
1/2 cup of almond milk

Variations: You can use orange juice instead of plant-based milk. Add a booster like chia seeds, almond butter, or protein powder.

Braun Immersion Hand Blender

Braun has some of the best immersion hand blenders for the home. I grew up watching my parents use their white Braun hand blender to make soups, purées, and smoothies while raving about how practical it was.

Which Braun hand blender is best?

My first pick is Braun’s MultiQuick 7 Hand Blender, and Braun’s MQ 5 Vario Hand Blender is right behind.

Both immersion blenders are fantastic, and the big difference is that Braun’s MultiQuick 7 has a touch-sensitive speed control trigger, and Braun’s MQ 5 Vario has 21 easily adjustable speeds.

Braun’s MultiQuick 7 Blender – Best Features

• Uses Active PowerDrive technology with an efficient 700-watt motor for up to 40% faster performance than Braun’s MQ 5 Vario 400-watt motor. 
• The attachments are dishwasher safe.

If I am in a hurry and want to make a quick breakfast smoothie, Braun’s MultiQuick 7 powerful blender will help me make it in record time. But when I need to mix heavy cream, I prefer Braun’s MQ 5 Vario because setting it at its lowest speed for 1 continuous minute is easier than relying on my pulse while using Braun’s MultiQuick 7 touch-sensitive speed control trigger.

For chopping, blending, or shredding fruits, nuts, or vegetables, and making smoothies, soups, or purées, either immersion blender will make your work easy.

How long can I run a hand blender?

Even when you are using the blender to whisk lighter foods such as eggs and cream, avoid using the whisk attachment for longer than 3 minutes in any 10 minutes.

Always allow your hand blender to rest. The motor unit must be only run for 1 minute, no longer, in any 4 minutes, particularly for heavy mixtures.

Are hand blenders worth it?

Yes, absolutely. For most households, immersion blenders are a great option. Hand blenders are practical, and do not take up a lot of space. I keep one hand blender in a drawer in the kitchen, and the other hand blender in my pantry.
