🧾 Ingredients
This strawberry mango smoothie recipe is made with just a few delicious ingredients:
- Frozen strawberries 🍓 - add sweetness, color, and all the greatness of strawberry flavor.
- Fresh or Frozen mango chunks 🥭 - sweet mango brings in creaminess, tropical flavors, and of course, natural sweetness.
- Frozen banana 🍌 - adds sweetness, creaminess, and lots of filling fiber.
- Lemon juice 🍋 - pops up strawberries' flavor and adds vitamin C.
- Unsweetened almond milk 🥛 - to make this smoothie dairy-free, we used plant milk. Use soy milk to augment your protein intake without adding any other ingredient, or oat milk or cashew milk, for more creaminess. Coconut milk is also pairs very well with the mango-strawberry combo.
- Water 💧 - helps to make the smoothie more liquid, as we are using frozen fruit. You can double the plant milk instead for a thicker smoothie, but we preferred lowering the smoothies' calorie count.
Optional ingredients
- Maple syrup - if you want to make it sweeter, although it might not be necessary if using very ripe bananas.
- Chia seeds - or flax meal, to add more antioxidants to your smoothie.
- Vanilla protein powder - add protein powder or hulled hemp seeds to increase the protein value.
See the recipe card for quantities.
🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare and measure your ingredients. Peel the orange. Remove the skin and white parts, then place all the smoothie ingredients in the blender's jar.
Step 2: Blend in a high-powered blender until creamy, about 40 seconds.
To begin, simply add all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add more frozen fruit or reduce the amount of almond milk.
Hint: lemon juice makes strawberries' flavor pop up, but you can leave it out if you don't have it handy.
Hint: although you can use fresh fruit, like fresh mango and fresh strawberries, if you want a creamier smoothie, go for frozen fruits.
🍶 Substitutions
- Mango or Bananas - use frozen peaches instead; they can provide the same natural sweetness and also have a creamy texture.
- Lemon juice - sub for clementines or orange juice.
- Almond milk - use any other dairy-free milk.
- Water - replace with plant milk or coconut water for extra electrolytes.
- Yogurt - you can add a portion of vegan dairy-free yogurt for more protein and make your smoothie extra thick.
📖 Variations
If you want to increase the caloric intake of your strawberry mango banana smoothie you can add almond butter or cashew butter. I don't recommend using peanut butter, as it has a strong flavor, that will compete with the rest of the ingredients.
🍽 Equipment
Blender- you will need a high-speed blender (affiliate link), to make a creamy smoothie.
🥡 Storage
Store this smoothie in a BPA-free (affiliate link), tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
You can freeze the smoothie in an airtight container, but it doesn't stand up well to freezing for more than 3 months.

❓ FAQ
Yes, you can use water instead of yogurt in a smoothie. However, keep in mind that the texture and flavor of the smoothie may be different. Yogurt adds creaminess and tanginess to the smoothie, while water will make it thinner and less flavorful.
If you want to use water instead of yogurt in a smoothie, you can add other ingredients to improve the taste and texture. For example, you can use frozen fruits, such as bananas or mangoes, to make the smoothie thicker and creamier. You can also add a tablespoon of nut butter or avocado to add creaminess and healthy fats.
A mango and banana shake can be a healthy beverage, especially when made with whole, natural ingredients. Both mangoes and bananas are packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber that offer numerous health benefits.
Mangoes are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and folate, while bananas are rich in potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and fiber. When combined in a smoothie, they can provide a variety of nutrients that can support overall health.
However, it's important to consider the other ingredients that are used in the shake. If the shake contains added sugars, such as syrups or sweetened yogurt, it can contribute to excess calories and potentially harm your health. Additionally, if the shake is made with fruit juice instead of whole fruits, it can also be high in sugar and low in fiber.
To make a healthy mango and banana shake, try using whole fruits, unsweetened yogurt or non-dairy milk, and natural sweeteners such as honey or dates. You can also add leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, for an extra boost of nutrients. As with any food or beverage, it's important to enjoy a mango and banana shake in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
