Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 banana
Dairy & Liquid
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup coconut water
Sweeteners & Add-Ins
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Fruits: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove their stems. Peel and chop the banana if necessary. If using fresh mango, peel it and cut into chunks.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the strawberries, mango chunks, banana, Greek yogurt, and coconut water into a blender.
- Add Sweetener: Add honey to the blender if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, adjusting to taste.
- Add Ice (Optional): For a colder, frosty texture, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Consistency and Sweetness: Taste the smoothie and adjust thickness or sweetness by adding more honey, coconut water, or ice cubes as desired, then blend again briefly.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass, optionally garnish with a strawberry or mango slice, and enjoy immediately for maximum freshness.
Notes
- Using frozen mango chunks can give the smoothie a thicker texture without needing ice.
- Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess; use dairy-free yogurt to make it vegan.
- Adjust the amount of coconut water for desired smoothie thickness and hydration.
- Honey is optional and can be omitted for a lower sugar version or substituted with maple syrup or agave.
- Consume immediately for best taste and texture, as smoothies can separate if left standing.
