This bright and creamy Mango Strawberry Smoothie is my summer breakfast go-to because it is both tasty and loaded with good-for-you ingredients. Whether you are rushing out the door or settling in for a slow morning, this smoothie hits the spot every time.

I started making this smoothie for my kids who are always on the hunt for something sweet but I wanted a healthier option—now we all crave it first thing in the morning

Ingredients

  • Orange juice: gives the smoothie a bright citrus kick and helps everything blend smoothly use fresh squeezed for best flavor if you can
  • Water: adds just enough liquid to adjust the consistency to your liking filtered water tastes best
  • Strawberries: bring tartness and beautiful pink color try to pick ripe deep red berries for a naturally sweet taste
  • Banana: makes the smoothie thick and creamy frozen banana works best for an ultra cold and smooth texture
  • Mango: adds natural sweetness and tropical flair frozen yields a cold and creamy blend every time choose ripe mango for richer flavor
  • Optional additions: I like to toss in chia seeds or a big handful of spinach sometimes for an extra nutrition boost

Step-by-Step Instructions

Add Liquids to Blender:
Pour in the orange juice first followed by water this prevents anything from sticking to the bottom of the blender and makes the blending process super smooth
Layer in Fruits:
Add the strawberries fresh or hulled and washed the frozen banana peeled and sliced if needed and the frozen mango chunks if adding greens or seeds now is the perfect time
Blend Until Completely Smooth:
Start on low speed and gradually increase to high let the blender run for one to two minutes stopping to scrape down the sides if you notice any pieces of fruit stuck Blend until every bit is smooth and there are no visible chunks
Taste and Adjust:
Take a quick taste and see if you want to adjust thickness or sweetness You can add extra water to thin it out or a drizzle of honey if your fruit is not sweet enough
Pour and Serve:
Split the smoothie between two glasses and serve right away for the brightest most refreshing flavor Sometimes I garnish with extra berry slices on top

My favorite part is the combination of mango and banana for that ultra creamy texture—once my little one called it tropical ice cream and it stuck The whole family loves sipping it together on hot weekend mornings

Storage Tips

Smoothies are at their best just after blending but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to twenty four hours Shake or stir well before you drink because natural separation will occur I sometimes freeze any extras into ice cube trays then toss the cubes back in the blender later for a quick treat

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap orange juice for pineapple juice if you want a less citrus forward smoothie If you run out of mango peaches or pineapple chunks are both lovely Banana can be left out if you do not care for it but the smoothie will be a bit thinner For Strawberry allergies use blueberries or raspberries

Serving Suggestions

Serve in chilled glasses with a slice of strawberry or mango on the rim for a fun presentation For extra protein add a scoop of plain or vanilla plant based protein powder I love this as part of a light breakfast with whole grain toast or as a snack after a workout

Add a drizzle of honey, agave, or a couple of pitted dates if you want extra sweetness in your drink.
