Ingredients

  • 6 ounces plain Greek yogurt
  • generous pinch lime zest
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 6-8 ice cubes

  • blender

Method
 

Step 1: Prep Your Fruit & Yogurt
  1. Begin by placing your sliced strawberries, chopped mango, and plain Greek yogurt into your blender. This forms the creamy base of our smoothie.
Step 2: Add the Zesty Twist
  1. Now for the magic! Add a generous pinch of lime zest and about ½ teaspoon of fresh lime juice to the blender. This little addition will wake up all the flavors and give your smoothie that signature brightness.
Step 3: Initial Blend
  1. Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds. You want to see the fruit and yogurt start to combine into a smooth, vibrant mixture. Scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
Step 4: Add Ice and Final Blend
  1. Next, add in your 6-8 ice cubes. Blend again until the mixture is completely smooth and reaches your desired creamy consistency. You’ll notice the color become beautifully uniform and inviting.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
  1. Pour your vibrant Strawberry Mango Smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, you can always add a splash of milk (dairy or non-dairy) or coconut water during the final blending stage to reach your perfect texture.

Notes

For customization, swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based alternative for a dairy-free/vegan option. Adjust sweetness with honey, maple syrup, or dates if desired. Add other fruits like banana or pineapple for variety, or spinach for a nutritional boost.
