Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all your frozen mango chunks, frozen strawberries, and choose your preferred liquid base—from dairy or non-dairy options.
- Load Blender: Pour the liquid base into the blender first. Then add the frozen mango chunks and frozen strawberries on top. Include any optional sweeteners or boosters at this stage.
- Blend Slowly: Start blending on a low speed, using a tamper if available to push the frozen fruit down toward the blades to ensure smooth blending.
- Increase Speed & Adjust: Gradually increase the blender’s speed until the smoothie mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy. If necessary, add a small splash more of your liquid base to help blend as needed.
- Serve in Bowl: Pour the thick smoothie mixture into your favorite serving bowl.
- Add Toppings: Arrange your chosen toppings for visual appeal and texture contrast—fresh mango slices, strawberries, granola, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey work great.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve right away for the freshest taste and best texture experience.
Notes
- You can customize sweetness by adjusting honey, maple syrup, or dates according to taste.
- Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein but can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
- Use frozen fruit to keep the smoothie thick and chilled without adding ice.
- Toppings add texture and flavor contrast, so choose a variety that you enjoy.
- If the smoothie is too thick, thin it out with a bit more milk or fruit juice.
