Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 banana
Liquids and Dairy
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup coconut water
Optional Additions
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Wash the strawberries and remove their stems. Peel and chop the banana if needed. If using fresh mango, peel and cut into chunks to ensure smooth blending.
- Blend the base: Add strawberries, mango chunks, banana, Greek yogurt, and coconut water into a blender to form the smoothie base.
- Sweeten (optional): Add honey if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, adjusting the amount to your taste preference.
- Add ice: Toss in a handful of ice cubes if you want a frosty, chilled texture for your smoothie.
- Blend until smooth: Blend everything on high speed until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more honey, coconut water, or ice cubes until the desired flavor and consistency are reached.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass, garnish with a strawberry or mango slice if desired, and enjoy immediately for the best freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Use frozen mango chunks if fresh mango is not available; this will also help chill the smoothie without additional ice.
- Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess; substitute with a plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the amount of coconut water to reach your preferred smoothie thickness.
- Honey can be omitted or replaced with maple syrup or agave for vegan options.
- For extra nutrition, consider adding a handful of spinach or a scoop of protein powder.
