This Strawberry Mango Smoothie is refreshing, super sweet, and loaded with fruity flavors. It's made with frozen strawberries, and chunks of sweet mango, packed with vitamin C, and antioxidants, and made without added sugars. It's a perfect healthy breakfast to enjoy on a hot summer day!
Start with preparing and measuring all the ingredients. I like to use measuring cups.
If you have whole flax seeds, make sure you grind them in a grinder before using them.
Take the blender and add all ingredients. Note: add wet ingredients first for easier blending.
Turn on the blender and mix at high speed until you get a smooth texture.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid – milk or water. Blend again until the smoothie is smooth.
Taste the smoothie and add additional sweetener if you like. (See the "Sweetener recommendation" for suggestions)
Transfer the smoothie into a tall smoothie glass.
Add toppings (optional). Be creative here and add toppings you like.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
As a measure, I used a US cup (240ml). Substitutions
You can use fresh or frozen fruits.
You can use any plant-based milk here except coconut milk. Coconut milk (from a box) won't work well here in terms of pairing with other flavors. Cow's milk works well too.
You can use any type of yogurt here, regular, low-fat, Greek-style, or even kefir or probiotic yogurt. Dairy or non-dairy, they are all fine.
You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or cashew butter. Tahini works well too.
You can substitute flax seeds with chia seeds or hemp seeds.
Make it without banana: Substitute banana with ½ avocado. In this case, you may need to add extra sweetener. See the "Sweetener recommendation" for suggestions.Make it weight loss friendly: Use only ½ banana to cut down calories.Add protein powder: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder. This will transfer smoothie into a great protein-packed, post-workout shake.Store in a smoothie cup with a lid and keep refrigerated for up to one day*** Please read the whole post for more recipe tips and information about ingredients.
