Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this smoothie because strawberries and mango create a delicious balance of sweet, slightly tart, and tropical flavors. Using frozen fruit gives me a thick and frosty consistency without needing much ice.

I also like that I can prepare this recipe in only a few minutes. I can change the liquid, leave out the yogurt, add protein powder or seeds, or blend in extra fruit depending on what I have available.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen mango chunks
1 ripe banana, preferably frozen
1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, optional
1 tablespoon chia seeds, optional
1/2 cup ice cubes, optional

Directions

I pour the orange juice into my blender first. I find that starting with the liquid helps the blades move more easily and creates a smoother consistency.
I add the Greek yogurt, strawberries, mango, and banana.
If I’m using chia seeds, I add them before blending.
I blend everything on high until the fruit is completely broken down and the smoothie looks thick and creamy.
I taste the smoothie before adding any sweetener. When my mango and banana are ripe, I usually find that the fruit provides enough sweetness.
If I want it sweeter, I add a little honey or maple syrup and blend again.
I adjust the consistency as needed. If my smoothie is too thick, I add another splash of orange juice. If I want it colder or thicker, I add a few ice cubes or extra frozen fruit.
I blend once more until completely smooth, then pour the smoothie into a glass and serve it immediately.

Servings and Timing

I get approximately 2 small servings or 1 large smoothie from this recipe.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Blending time: 1–2 minutes
Total time: About 7 minutes
Servings: 1 large or 2 small smoothies

Variations

Strawberry Mango Banana Smoothie

I add an extra half or whole frozen banana when I want an especially thick and creamy smoothie. Since banana adds sweetness as well, I usually don’t need honey or maple syrup.

Strawberry Mango Pineapple Smoothie

I add about 1/2 cup of frozen pineapple for an even more tropical flavor. I sometimes use pineapple juice instead of orange juice to reinforce the pineapple flavor.

Strawberry Mango Coconut Smoothie

I replace the orange juice with coconut milk or coconut water. Coconut milk gives me a richer, creamier drink, while coconut water keeps the smoothie lighter and more refreshing.

Strawberry Mango Protein Smoothie

I add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder before blending. If the smoothie becomes too thick, I add a little more orange juice or milk until I reach my preferred consistency.

Dairy-Free Strawberry Mango Smoothie

I replace the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt or simply leave it out. Frozen mango and banana already provide plenty of creaminess, so I can still get a smooth texture without dairy.

Storage/Reheating

I prefer drinking my Strawberry Mango Smoothie immediately after blending because that’s when it has the freshest flavor and thickest texture.

If I have leftovers, I pour them into an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours. Some separation can occur while the smoothie sits, so I stir or shake it thoroughly before drinking.

I can also freeze leftover smoothie in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, I transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe container. I blend the cubes with a splash of orange juice whenever I want another smoothie.

I don’t reheat this smoothie. I always serve it cold, and I can blend refrigerated leftovers with a little frozen fruit or ice if I want to restore the frosty texture.

FAQs

Can I use fresh strawberries and mango instead of frozen fruit?

Yes. I can use fresh strawberries and fresh mango, but the smoothie will be thinner and less frosty. I usually add a frozen banana or some ice cubes when using fresh fruit to create a thicker texture.

Can I make a Strawberry Mango Smoothie without banana?

Yes. I can leave out the banana and add more frozen mango, Greek yogurt, or a little avocado for creaminess. Depending on the sweetness of my fruit, I may add a small amount of honey or maple syrup.

What liquid works best in a Strawberry Mango Smoothie?

I like orange juice because its citrus flavor pairs naturally with both strawberries and mango. I can also use pineapple juice, coconut water, coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, or regular milk.

How do I make my Strawberry Mango Smoothie thicker?

I use frozen strawberries, frozen mango, and frozen banana while keeping the amount of liquid relatively low. I can also add Greek yogurt, chia seeds, or extra frozen fruit if I want an even thicker consistency.

Can I make a Strawberry Mango Smoothie ahead of time?

Yes, although I prefer drinking it immediately after blending. If I make it ahead, I store it in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and shake or blend it again before serving.

Conclusion

This Strawberry Mango Smoothie is an easy way for me to combine sweet strawberries and tropical mango in one creamy, refreshing drink. I love how frozen fruit creates a thick texture while orange juice adds a bright citrus flavor.

Notes

For an extra-creamy smoothie, add an additional half or whole frozen banana.
Add about 1/2 cup frozen pineapple for a more tropical flavor, or substitute pineapple juice for the orange juice.

For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder and increase the liquid as needed.
For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free yogurt or omit the Greek yogurt.
Fresh strawberries and mango can be used, but add ice or a frozen banana for a thicker, colder texture.
