Ingredients
Scale
Main Fruits:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 banana
Dairy and Liquid Base:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup coconut water
Sweetener and Optional Add-ins:
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Gather fresh strawberries, ripe mango chunks, a peeled banana, creamy Greek yogurt, hydrating coconut water, and optional honey into a high-powered blender.
- Pulse the ingredients for 30-45 seconds on high speed, ensuring all fruit is thoroughly pulverized and the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- For an extra chilled and thicker texture, incorporate 4-5 ice cubes and blend an additional 15-20 seconds until completely smooth and frosty.
- Transfer the vibrant, tropical smoothie into chilled glasses, allowing the bright colors and fresh aromas to enhance the sensory experience.
- Serve immediately to preserve the optimal temperature and creamy texture, savoring the natural sweetness and refreshing tropical flavors.
Notes
- Swap Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives like almond or coconut yogurt for a vegan-friendly version that maintains the creamy texture.
- Freeze ripe fruits beforehand to create a thicker, more sorbet-like smoothie without adding extra ice, which can dilute the flavor intensity.
- Boost nutritional value by incorporating a handful of spinach or chia seeds without significantly altering the tropical taste profile.
- Adjust sweetness naturally by selecting perfectly ripe fruits or using alternative sweeteners like agave nectar or dates for different dietary preferences.
