Here’s one of my favorite healthy drinks that happened when I combined my reader-favorite strawberry smoothie and mango smoothie! This Strawberry Mango Smoothie has a creamy, luscious texture and a deliciously fruity flavor. I love using mango in smoothies because of its bright sweetness, and along with berries and banana, it makes a perfect combination!

This smoothie also features Greek yogurt to pack in protein and probiotics. It’s a favorite at our house: the way the flavors combine is perfect for a healthy snack or breakfast!

Strawberry Mango Smoothie Ingredients

Sure, you can throw strawberries and mango into the blender and come up with a smoothie. But will it be the best strawberry mango smoothie? To get just the right blend of flavors and a creamy texture, here’s what we recommend:

  • Frozen strawberries: Frozen berries make just the right icy texture. You can also use fresh berries, but make sure to use frozen mango.
  • Frozen mango: Frozen mango is our favorite because it’s easy to find at the grocery and store for when a craving strikes. You can also use fresh mango, but then use frozen strawberries.
  • Greek yogurt: Yogurt lends a creamy texture and loads of protein! It’s also got probiotics, which help with gut health.
  • Banana: The banana helps to make a creamy texture and adds the final sweetness.
  • Milk & ice: Milk helps it all blend, and ice makes it a little fluffier.
  • Fresh lemon juice: The citrus is key here, and amps up all the flavors beautifully.

How To Blend The Creamiest Texture

Trust me, the way you add the ingredients to the blender matters (I’ve made dozens of of smoothies over the years when testing my 50 healthy smoothie recipes!). Add the liquid to the bottom, then the yogurt, the banana broken into pieces, and the frozen fruit and ice on top.

This way, the the blades start in liquid and pull everything down, instead of getting stuck on the frozen fruit. If your blender does stall, stop, scrape the sides, and restart the blender on low before increasing the speed to high. You can also add a tiny bit more liquid, but don’t add too much: you’ll dilute the flavor.

Vegan and Dairy Free Variation

There are actually two versions of this strawberry mango smoothie we love! The main version uses milk and yogurt, which helps to make it filling with extra protein. But you can also make it vegan! The vegan variation has less protein and is all fruit: but sometimes we’re in the mood for that too. The flavor is so sweet and fruity! Here’s what to do to make a vegan version of this smoothie:

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup frozen mango
  • 2 bananas (room temperature)
  • ½ cup water
  • 8 ice cubes

Protein Add-Ins

Want to add even more protein to this strawberry mango smoothie? Here are a few ideas:

  • Use more Greek yogurt: Yogurt adds quite a bit of protein. Double the yogurt and use ½ cup instead of ¼ cup.
  • Add cashew butter or almond butter. A cashew flavor or almond flavor goes well with mango; I prefer it to peanut butter. Use about 1 tablespoon, 2 for a stronger flavor. Keep in mind this addition will also dull the color a bit.
  • Protein powder: You can also throw in some protein powder! We usually go with real food options, especially because we’re not fans of the protein powder aftertaste.

Serving And Storage

Smoothies are best eaten immediately. But this strawberry smoothie actually lasts 1 day refrigerated, stored in a sealed container or a mason jar with the lid on. If it separates, just shake it up and you’re good to go! Making smoothies ahead is nice to have ready-made breakfasts for busy mornings.

Dietary Notes

This strawberry mango smoothie recipe is vegetarian and gluten-free. Or use the vegan variation for vegan, plant-based and dairy-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do mango and strawberry go well together?

Yes. Mango is sweet and tropical, and it rounds out the strawberries acidity.

What’s the best liquid base for a smoothie?

Dairy milk is the creamiest and adds protein. You can use almond milk or oat milk for dairy free; I like oat milk best. Water works as another vegan option, though it’s less creamy.

How do you make a strawberry mango smoothie without yogurt?

See the vegan variation: skip yogurt and add a second banana plus water.

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

You can, but at least one fruit needs to be frozen or the smoothie will be thin and watery.

Why isn’t my smoothie thick?

You may have added too much extra liquid, or don’t have enough frozen fruit.
