Description
A vibrant, creamy fruit smoothie blending mango, banana, and strawberries—simple, refreshing, and perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mango (fresh, chopped, or frozen)
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen, hulled/sliced)
- 1 banana (frozen for thickness, or room temperature)
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk, dairy or non‑dairy (e.g., almond, oat, coconut milk)
- ½ cup yogurt (plain, Greek, or dairy‑free), optional for creaminess
- Juice of ½ lime or lemon (optional, for bright flavor)
Instructions
- Add the softest ingredients first (e.g., strawberries, banana, yogurt), then mango and milk to the blender.
- Blend on low, gradually increasing to high until smooth. If needed, add more liquid one tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
- If using lime or lemon juice, add it in and pulse briefly.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately—or store in the fridge for up to 2 days (shake or reblend before serving).
Notes
- Frozen fruit yields a thicker, colder smoothie; for a thinner texture, add more liquid.
- Substitute yogurt with dairy‑free alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt to make it vegan.
- Lime or lemon juice adds a subtle tang and balance to the sweet fruits—optional but refreshing.
- Adding mix‑ins like chia seeds, flax, or spinach can boost nutrition and texture. :contentReference
