You’ll love this strawberry mango smoothie recipe if you’re not a big fan of bananas in smoothies. It has a creamy frozen texture without a banana flavor. Serve it as an after-school snack or a refreshing summer drink. It tastes better than anything you’d buy at a smoothie shop and would also make an excellent base for a smoothie bowl.
Strawberry Mango Smoothie Ingredients
The key to this smoothie’s texture is using a combination of fresh and frozen fruit. Since fresh strawberries are easier to prep than fresh mango, this recipe calls for fresh strawberries and frozen mango chunks. But feel free to swap these if you prefer! (There are also tips below if you only have frozen fruit to work with.) Very little liquid is required for blending when you use fresh fruit, but the orange juice adds an extra punch of tropical flavor. I use almond milk in this recipe for dairy-free creaminess but feel free to swap it for your milk of choice. Add Greek yogurt, chia seeds, or unflavored protein powder to make it more filling if you need to. This smoothie recipe is easy to customize!
How to Make a Strawberry Mango Smoothie
Combine the fresh strawberries, frozen mango, orange juice, and almond milk in a high-speed blender. Secure the lid and blend until smooth, about 60 seconds. Taste the smoothie and make any adjustments. You can add Greek yogurt, a spoonful of almond butter, or protein powder to help keep you feeling satisfied longer. Add a handful of ice cubes and blend again for a slushier texture until it reaches the consistency you like. Adding ice will dilute the flavor slightly, so start with a few cubes and taste as you go. Serve the smoothie right away for the best flavor and texture. Leftovers can be poured into an ice pop mold for an easy treat you can store in the freezer. Looking for more smoothie recipes?
