This strawberry mango smoothie blends fresh strawberries, ripe mangoes, and freshly squeezed orange juice into a fruity drink without yogurt or banana. A couple of ice cubes keep it cool, and it takes just 5 minutes from cutting the fruit to pouring the smoothie.
Why You'll Love This Strawberry Mango Smoothie
- A short ingredient list: Fruit, orange juice, and ice are all you need.
- No milk or yogurt: Mango gives the smoothie body without a dairy base.
- No separate sweetener: Ripe fruit provides the sweetness, with no sugar or honey added.
I made this strawberry mango smoothie to use up ripe fruit, and that ripeness is what makes the combination work so well. The mango brings plenty of sweetness, while the strawberries and freshly squeezed orange juice keep the flavor bright. If you enjoy fruit drinks with a little citrus, my raspberry pink lemonade is another recipe to try.
For this version, I use orange juice instead of milk or yogurt, letting the mango give the smoothie its smooth texture without adding banana. Everything goes into the blender together, so there is very little preparation beyond cutting the fruit. For another simple blended drink with a sharper, less sweet flavor, try my green juice with apple, lime, and ginger.
Key Ingredients in Strawberry Mango Smoothie
The exact measurements are in the recipe card. Here is what each ingredient brings to the glass:
- Strawberries: Fresh, ripe berries give the smoothie its red color and a gently tart flavor that balances the mango. Wash them and remove the stems before blending.
- Mangoes: Ripe mangoes add sweetness and a smooth, substantial texture. Use the flesh only, discarding the peel and pits; softer, ripe fruit blends more easily than firm, underripe mango.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice: This is the liquid base, helping the fruit blend while adding citrus flavor. It keeps the focus on the fruit without needing milk or yogurt.
- Ice cubes: A small amount of ice cools the smoothie as it blends. Starting with chilled fruit and juice helps keep it cold without adding a large handful of ice.
How to Make Strawberry Mango Smoothie
You can find the complete printable recipe with measurements below. Here is a quick overview:
1. Prepare the strawberries: Wash the berries, remove their stems, and cut them in half.
2. Cut the mangoes: Separate the flesh from the peel and pits, then cut it into chunks.
3. Fill the blender: Add the strawberries, mango, freshly squeezed orange juice, and ice.
4. Blend and serve: Blend for 30-60 seconds, until smooth with no pieces of fruit remaining. Pour into glasses and serve immediately, adding a strawberry slice for garnish if you like.
Tips for Strawberry Mango Smoothie
- Choose ripe mangoes: Look for fruit that gives slightly when gently pressed. Ripeness matters here because the recipe relies on the fruit for sweetness.
- Check the texture: Use the blending time as a guide, then check for pieces of mango or strawberry. Keep blending briefly if any remain.
- Adjust frozen fruit as needed: Frozen fruit makes a thicker smoothie. If using it, leave out the ice initially and add a small splash of orange juice only if the mixture needs help blending.
Storage
This smoothie is best served immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers promptly in a sealed jar for up to 1 day. The mixture may separate as it stands, so shake the jar or briefly blend the smoothie again before pouring.
