To make a tasty strawberry mango smoothie, you’ll need fresh fruits and a few other simple ingredients. Begin by gathering fresh strawberries. Look for bright red ones with green caps.

Next, grab a ripe mango. If it’s soft to the touch and fragrant, it’s ready. Peel the mango and remove the pit. Then, slice it into chunks.

Make sure you have almond milk or any plant-based milk of your choice. A cup of this will add creaminess. You’ll also need some agave syrup if you want your smoothie a bit sweeter. Use a teaspoon or adjust to taste.

Don’t forget the ice cubes. They’ll help to keep the smoothie cool and refreshing. Just a handful should be enough.

Finally, have a blender ready. This is the fun part where everything comes together. Measure your ingredients and keep them close so you can toss them in and mix them up easily.

Variations To Try

  • With different fruits: Mix up your smoothie by adding different fruits. Try blueberries or raspberries. They add a burst of tartness. If you like it creamy, a scoop of coconut yogurt works well.
  • With seeds: Add a bit of texture with chia seeds or flax seeds. These tiny seeds pack a nutritious punch and thicken the smoothie nicely.
  • With sweeteners: If you prefer a sweeter drink, a spoonful of agave nectar or maple syrup can do the trick. Be careful not to add too much, as fruits are already sweet.
  • With spices: For a kick of flavor, add a hint of vanilla or a sprinkle of cinnamon. You can also use a splash of almond or coconut milk instead of water for a richer taste.
  • With greens: Don’t forget the greens! Adding a handful of spinach or kale gives it an extra nutritious boost. They’ll blend right in without altering the fruity flavor much.

Storage Tips

  • First, make sure to pour your smoothie into an airtight container. A mason jar works great.
  • If you’re planning to drink it soon, keep it in the fridge. It will stay delicious for up to 24 hours. Shake it well before you enjoy it to mix any settled ingredients.
  • For longer storage, you can freeze the smoothie. Pour it into freezer-safe containers, leaving some space at the top as it will expand. Freeze your smoothie for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight for a quick breakfast or snack.
  • Remember, freezing might change the texture a bit. A quick blend after thawing can help restore its smoothness. If you’re busy, frozen smoothies can become your time-saving favorites.
  • To keep flavors fresh, avoid long exposure to air. Store the smoothies promptly after making them. This helps preserve their vibrant taste and color.
  • Using fresh fruits is key. Fresh strawberries and mangoes ensure the best taste. Ripe fruits also provide the right sweetness without any added sugar. Enjoy your smoothie whenever you want with these simple storage tips!
