Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup mango (fresh or frozen)
Dairy and Liquid:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup orange juice or coconut water
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (if using fresh fruit)
Instructions
- Add ripe strawberries, mango chunks, Greek yogurt, and orange juice (or coconut water) to a blender.
- Pulse and blend ingredients for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and silky, creating a uniform consistency.
- Evaluate the smoothie’s thickness and texture, then incorporate ice cubes if a more substantial, chilled beverage is preferred.
