Peel and dice the mango, and prepare the orange segments by removing the seeds and any visible membranes for a smoother texture.
Add fresh mango, orange segments, almond milk, and Greek yogurt to a high-speed blender.
Add ice cubes to the blender for a chilled and thick consistency.
For added flavor, include a pinch of ground cinnamon and a splash of vanilla extract (optional).
Blend on high for 1–2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Taste the smoothie and adjust as needed. For added sweetness, use a small pinch of stevia or a sugar substitute suitable for diabetics, if desired.
Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a small sprinkle of cinnamon on top if desired.
