This Strawberry Mango Smoothie is a refreshing treat so good that I never reserve it for just the summertime. Two fruity layers, one strawberry and one tropical mango, blended with yogurt for creaminess, plus your favorite milk and honey.
You blend each fruity flavor separately, which means you actually taste both! And it’s so pretty, with two vibrant layers of pink and yellow!

Ingredient Notes
- Frozen strawberries: If you prefer to freeze your own, chop fresh strawberries and freeze them overnight. Otherwise, store-bought works just as well, especially if you can get a good deal in bulk!
- Frozen mango: Same as the strawberries, frozen is key. Mango is naturally creamy, which is what makes this such a great choice!
- Greek yogurt: For creaminess and a little protein. Start with ¼ cup for each and add more to taste. Plain, full-fat Greek yogurt provides the best thick texture, but regular yogurt works too.
- Milk: Use whatever milk you love! Whole milk, almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk are great options. It helps to thin out the strawberry mango smoothie, so adjust the quantity as needed based on your preference.
- Orange juice: Goes into the mango layer only and adds a bright, citrusy note that pairs really well with mango. I use freshly squeezed.
- Honey: A little bit of natural sweetness highlights the true flavors of mangoes and strawberries. Adjust to taste depending on how sweet your fruit is.
As always, ingredient quantities are listed in the recipe card below.
Substitutions and Variations
- If you can’t find frozen mango, pineapple works as a great substitute for that tropical, summer smoothie taste.
- Milk: Any milk works here. I really like coconut milk, as it adds a tropical flavor that pairs especially well with the mango layer.
- Greek yogurt: Swap with regular yogurt or a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
- Honey: Maple syrup or agave work as a 1:1 substitute.
- Make a smoothie bowl! I love using this mango strawberry smoothie recipe to make smoothie bowls for breakfast. Just make sure to use less liquid, as it needs to be extra thick.
How to Make a Strawberry Mango Smoothie
- Blend the strawberry layer. Add the frozen strawberries, milk, yogurt, and honey to the blender. Blend. The consistency should be thick but pourable. Pour into glass and set aside.
- Blend the mango layer. Rinse the blender, then add the frozen mango chunks, milk, orange juice, Greek yogurt, and honey. Blend until smooth and adjust as needed.
- Layer and serve. Pour the mango smoothie portion on top of the strawberry smoothie in the glass. The two should stay mostly separate, but it’s okay if they combine a bit in the middle.
Tips for Success
- Pour slowly and close to the glass, slightly tilting it, for the cleanest layer.
- Add the liquids (yogurt, milk, orange juice) to the blender first or wherever is closest to the blending blade. This helps the blades catch and blend more smoothly.
- The consistency should be pourable, not spoonable. If the blender is getting stuck or the smoothie is too thick, give it a quick stir then add more liquid as needed until it blends freely.
- I use store-bought frozen fruit for convenience, but feel free to cut up your fruit. Freeze in a single layer on a sheet pan, and once frozen and hardened, transfer to a freezer-friendly bag. It will keep for 8-12 months in the freezer.
Recipe FAQs
Can I combine both flavors together instead?
You can! You won’t get the pretty layers, but your strawberry mango smoothie will still taste great.
Can I store or freeze leftover smoothie?
These kinds of smoothies are best enjoyed fresh right after blending since the texture and color change as they sit. However, if you do have some left over, store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 1 day, or pour it into popsicle molds to freeze for a fun, fruity treat!
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Frozen fruit is strongly recommended for the best thick, creamy texture and to keep it cold. If you only have fresh, add a handful of ice cubes to compensate, but you’ll need to reduce the amount of liquid.

Strawberry Mango Smoothie
This refreshing Strawberry Mango Smoothie is made with two vibrant, fruity layers of sweet strawberries and creamy mango. It's blended with Greek yogurt, milk, and honey for a thick, creamy smoothie that tastes to good!
Servings 2 people
Calories 387kcal
Equipment
- Blender for 2 servings
- Individual blender if making half the recipe for 1 serving
Ingredients
For the strawberry portion:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup milk - use your favorite milk
- ⅓ to ½ cup Greek yogurt - as needed
- 1-2 tablespoons honey - plus more to taste
For the mango portion:
- 2 cups frozen mango chunks
- ½ cup milk - your favorite
- ½ cup orange juice - freshly squeezed
- ⅓ to ½ cup Greek yogurt - as needed
- 1-2 tablespoons honey - plus more to taste
Instructions
- Blend the strawberry smoothie: Add all of the strawberry smoothie ingredients into a medium blender, adding the yogurt and liquids closest to the blades to help everything blend more smoothly. Blend for a few seconds, then add more milk (or water) as needed, until creamy and thick, but still pourable. Taste and add more honey, if desired.
- Pour into glasses: Divide the strawberry smoothie evenly between 2 glasses, filling each halfway. Set aside. Note: If your glasses are smaller, you can make 3 glasses.
- Blend the mango smoothie: Give the blender a quick rinse. Then, add the mango smoothie ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy, adjust the consistency and taste.
- Serve: Slowly pour the mango smoothie over the strawberry portion, slightly tilting the glass for a more controlled pour to make two separate layers (a little mixing in the center is completely fine). Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit chunks to give the smoothie its thick, creamy texture without needing to add ice. If you only have fresh fruit, add ice and adjust the liquids as needed to get the right consistency.
- Blend each flavor separately so you can taste both and get those pretty layers of pink and yellow. Give the blender a quick rinse in between layers.
- How to avoid the two flavors from mixing together: When pouring the second layer, tilt your glass slightly and pour slowly and close to the edge.
- Adjusting consistency: The smoothie should be creamy and thick but pourable so you can drink it from a straw easily. If it’s too thick, stir it and add more milk (or water). If it turns out too thin, blend in a few more pieces of frozen fruit or ice cubes.
- Refrigeration: Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- Freezing: Leftovers can be poured into popsicle molds and frozen for a fun, fruity treat.
- Swap out the mango for pineapple for a fruity, tropical flavor change.
- Milk options: Any milk works. I use 2 percent milk. Coconut milk, whole milk, almond, oat, cashew.
- Yogurt: Plain, full-fat Greek yogurt yields the thickest texture. Swap it with regular yogurt or a dairy-free yogurt alternative. You will need less liquid.
- Instead of honey, use maple syrup or agave as a direct 1:1 substitute.
- Make a smoothie bowl: Turn this recipe into a breakfast bowl by reducing the amount of liquid so the consistency turns out extra thick and spoonable.
