Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 banana
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 cup orange juice
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of fresh strawberries, 1 ripe mango (peeled and diced), 1 banana, 1 cup of yogurt, and 1 cup of orange juice.
- Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under running water. Remove the green tops and slice them in half if they are large.
- Peel the ripe mango, then cut it in half around the pit. Dice the mango flesh into small cubes for easier blending.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces to facilitate blending.
- In a blender, add the prepared strawberries, diced mango, banana pieces, yogurt, and orange juice.
- Secure the lid on the blender tightly. Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, usually about 30-60 seconds.
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more orange juice to reach your desired consistency. Blend again briefly to mix.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a little honey or maple syrup, then blend again if you added any sweetener.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, filling them evenly. Optionally, garnish with a slice of strawberry or a small piece of mango on the rim of each glass.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Strawberry Mango Smoothie with Banana!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Fruits: For the best flavor, ensure your strawberries, mango, and banana are perfectly ripe. This will enhance the sweetness and overall taste of your smoothie.
- Chill Your Ingredients: If you prefer a colder smoothie, you can chill your fruits in the refrigerator before blending or use frozen strawberries for a frosty texture.
- Adjust Consistency: If your smoothie is too thick, simply add more orange juice a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Sweetness Level: Taste the smoothie after blending; if you want it sweeter, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup can elevate the flavor without overpowering the fruitiness.
- Garnish for Presentation: Elevate your smoothie’s appearance by garnishing with a slice of strawberry or mango on the rim of the glass. It adds a professional touch that’s perfect for serving guests.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to add a scoop of protein powder, a handful of spinach, or some chia seeds for an extra nutritional boost without sacrificing flavor.
- Blend Well: Make sure to blend the ingredients thoroughly until smooth to avoid any chunky bits, ensuring a creamy and enjoyable drinking experience.
