🍌 Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to make this mango strawberry banana smoothie:

📋 Ingredient Notes

• Frozen fruit: Frozen strawberries and mango (instead of fresh) are essential for this smoothie. If you'd like, you could also add or sub in raspberries and/or pineapple for a similar smoothie.
• Milk: We prefer using oat, almond or cashew milk in this smoothie, but any variety you like is fine. Coconut milk would also be delicious!
• Yogurt: We use a vegan cashew-based vanilla yogurt, but any variety is fine. You can also use plain or another flavored yogurt (strawberry would be great!).
• Maple syrup: Optional, but adds a little extra sweetness.
• Cinnamon: Also optional, but adds some warmth and depth to this mango strawberry banana smoothie.
• Lemon juice: A small amount of acidity balances everything out for a delicious smoothie. Freshly squeezed is always best!

🔪 Step-by-step Instructions

Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve cold.

Yep, that's it! Depending on your blender speed, you may need to blend more than once to make sure all of the frozen fruit is incorporated.

💭 Expert Tips and FAQs

• For best results, let the frozen fruit thaw at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before blending. You can also microwave the fruit for 30 seconds for a quicker option.
• Depending on the speed/power of your blender, you may need to go through two blend cycles for a super creamy smoothie.
• Add-ins:
  • A scoop of plant-based protein powder
  • Hemp seeds
  • Nut butter (almond or peanut butter are my favorites)
  • Other fruit, like frozen raspberries, pineapple, passion fruit, etc.
  • A handful of greens (spinach, kale, etc)
  • Ginger or turmeric
• Don't add ice: Smoothie not thick enough? Instead of adding ice (which will make your smoothie grainy and watered down), add in another handful of frozen strawberries and/or mango.
• Make it into a smoothie bowl: Use frozen banana instead of fresh and cut the liquid in half for a thicker smoothie base that will hold up well to toppings like granola and fresh fruit.
• Storage: This smoothie is best consumed within a few hours, but if necessary can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. We suggest blending again before consuming. You can also add more frozen fruit if needed.
