So, I’ve had the biggest revelation about smoothies recently.
Basically, that they’re amazing. And the best way to start your day.
Now that I’m back at school with no blender (I really should get a mini bullet blender… I’ve spent enough time staring at them on Amazon, but just can’t commit for some reason), I’ve been staring at these pictures to get my fix.
I’m lucky that my school has a café that makes pretty dope smoothies (Red & Black: mixed berry smoothie, no honey – just saying), but I still love making my own and throwing whatever is on hand in there.
This smoothie is super simple and definitely an easy introduction if you’re starting to make your own smoothies at home.
Not only does this smoothie only require three ingredients, but it’s dairy free and has no added sugar!
Moreover, it’s about 10-12 ounces, so it’s not tiny, but not so huge that it feels like a meal.
Strawberry and mango go so well together in this smoothie. The one cup of strawberries in this smoothie contain all of your daily of Vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system, promotes eye health, and boosts collagen production, which keeps skin resilient and elastic.
In addition, mango can help unclog pores to clear skin, lower cholesterol, and boost your levels of Vitamins A, C, and K.
In case you’re all jazzed about strawberries and mangos, here are a few more strawberry and mango recipes, savory and sweet:
- Mexicali Summer Sandwich
- Baby Kale & Berry Salad with Maple Vinaigrette
- Raw Vegan Tropical Ice Cream Sandwiches
- Strawberry Banana Smoothie
- Seedy Sprouted Avo Toast with Mango
- Strawberry Crème Fraîche Cheesecake
- Roasted Tofu Tacos with Mango Salsa
- Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie Bowl
- Miso Rice Noodle Bowl
Let me know what your favorite smoothie combinations are! Also, let me know if you have mini blender opinions and/or suggestions. Enjoy! xx
- 1 cup strawberries (about 6)
- 1 cup mango, diced (about ½ a medium mango)
- ¼ cup soy milk
- Blend strawberries and mango until puréed.
- Add half of soy milk and blend until liquid. Add the remaining soy milk (if desired) and blend until completely smooth.
I rarely drink smoothies only because I love to “eat” so much. But this is one I can totally get behind and my husband would love it. Mangoes are popping up and I’ve been buying them and I just got a box of strawberries. Perfect timing!
I feel that- that’s the way I felt but there’s something fun to me about smoothies now!
So glad you came around to the smoothie game! They are so good. I love how simple this one is!
Thanks, Sarah!
I loveee mango so much, though I hate cutting it. This smoothie looks like perfection!
Me too! I’m terrible at cutting it- I always ask my mom to do it for me, or get the pre-sliced ones from Trader Joe’s haha
ohh i love this smoothie! I make a similar one almost every other day! 😀
Thanks!
I love easy smoothies like these — and colorful ones of course 😉
Thanks!
Haha, great revelation 😀 I feel the same way every time winter ends. During the colder months I’m all… Meh. Smoothies aren’t that great. And once the weather gets warmer I realize how amazing they are. Yours looks so delicious!
Thanks so much! And yes it’s all about that spring weather 🙂
Hi Medha,
This smoothie looks delish, I’m sure my kiddos will love them!
Thanks!
