Try this super fruity and healthy Strawberry Mango Smoothie to start the day or for an afternoon recharge! It’s full of healthy and refreshing ingredients.
It’s Thursday, and you know what that means? Any guesses…? It means it’s been a long week, and Saturday still seems so far away. I don’t know about you, but that’s how I feel every Thursday, and so I need a delicious and healthy recharge…like a good strawberry and mango smoothie! 🙂
I love smoothies because they are so customizable. I make it whatever I want to satisfy my all my fruit cravings. Like I mentioned in my Mixed Berry Yogurt Smoothie post, I am 100% a fruit smoothie person. Kale and other greens smoothies are not my thing.
Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits. And strawberries are just naturally delicious. So what better than a smoothie made of these two wonderful fruits? Yup.
What’s In This Fruit Smoothie?
- Frozen mangoes and strawberries
- Milk of your choice
- Greek yogurt
- Orange juice
- Honey
That’s all! Super easy and healthy.
What do I Need to Make a Good Smoothie?
A good smoothie is all about consistency! Here are some tips:
- Make sure the fruit is frozen (you can’t have a room temperature smoothie!!)
- Adjust liquids as necessary and to taste, and always start with less. You can always add but not remove.
- Invest in a good blender if you can. It will make a difference. I use the Ninja Professional Blender 1000.
- For creaminess, use something like yogurt or milk.
Alright, so let’s get blending! And don’t forget to pin my recipe below 🙂 Thank you!
Kitchen Tips
- Use frozen fruit for best results. If you don’t want to buy pre-frozen fruit, you can chop up your own fruit and freeze it overnight.
- Try experimenting with any kind of milk you like! Almond, coconut, cashew, soy…If using thick coconut milk, make sure to thin it out.
- If the smoothie is moving freely in the blender, it likely means consistency is good. Check that it’s not way too thick.
