  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ½ banana
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)

Ingredient Notes & Swaps

Milk Options:
Coconut milk adds tropical richness, but almond milk, oat milk, dairy milk, or even Greek yogurt work beautifully.

Sweetener:
Depending on the ripeness of your fruit, you may not need any added sweetener.

Boost It:

  • Add chia seeds for fiber
  • Add protein powder for a post-workout smoothie
  • Add spinach for a hidden green boost

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Add the Fruit

In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, frozen mango chunks, and banana.


2. Add Liquids

Pour in the coconut milk, orange juice, and honey (if using).


3. Blend

Blend on high until smooth and creamy.

If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk or orange juice until you reach your desired consistency.


4. Optional: Thicker Texture

For an extra cold, thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again.


5. Taste & Adjust

Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.


6. Serve

Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

Garnish with a fresh strawberry, a slice of mango, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a fun tropical finish.
