Ingredients:

IngredientQuantity
Frozen strawberries1 cup
Frozen mango chunks1 cup
Ripe banana1 medium
Coconut milk (or almond milk)1 cup
Ice cubes (optional, for texture)½ cup
Honey or maple syrup (optional)1–2 teaspoons
Chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)1 tablespoon
Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)¼ cup

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • If using fresh fruit, slice and freeze the strawberries and mango ahead of time for a thicker, frostier smoothie.
  • Peel the banana and break it into chunks.

Step 2: Blend the Base

  1. In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen strawberries, mango chunks, and banana.
  2. Pour in the coconut milk and add ice cubes if you want a thicker, colder texture.

Step 3: Customize and Blend

  1. Add honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
  2. For added nutrition, toss in chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a scoop of protein powder.
  3. If you want a creamier texture, add a spoonful of Greek yogurt.

Step 4: Blend Until Smooth

  • Blend on high for 1–2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  • If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen fruit chunks or ice.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  • Pour into tall glasses and garnish with a slice of strawberry, mango, or a sprinkle of chia seeds.
  • Serve immediately with a straw and a smile.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in a chilled glass with a paper umbrella for a tropical vibe.
  • Layer with granola and fruit in a bowl for a smoothie bowl version.
  • Freeze into popsicle molds for a healthy frozen treat.

Tips & Variations:

  • Make it green: Add a handful of spinach or kale for a nutrient boost. The fruit flavors will still shine through.
  • Dairy-free: Use plant-based yogurt or skip it entirely for a vegan version.
  • Protein-packed: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter.
  • Citrus twist: Add a splash of orange juice or a squeeze of lime for extra brightness.
