A Strawberry Mango Smoothie without yogurt or milk

I’m a bigggggg fan of smoothies. If you’ve ever peeped my Instagram then you probably notice that I think a lot of them. Smoothies are one of those things that are so easy to make, healthy, nutritious and taste amazing!

Many Strawberry Mango Smoothie recipes tend to be made with yogurt or milk in them, but we’re keeping this recipe today entirely dairy-free. Instead this smoothie uses coconut water as the liquid for blending, which has a mild, slightly sweet and caramel-like flavour to it. (Just make sure to get a no-sugar added coconut water!)

This smoothie can also easily be made into a Strawberry Mango Bowl if that’s your jam. Just double the amount of fruit, use frozen instead of fresh strawberries and use a good quality high-speed blender or food processor to blend it all together.

Ingredients you’ll need

a mango, bowl of strawberries and measuring cup on a marble table

Strawberries: I use fresh local strawberries to make this smoothie, which is why I love making this smoothie during the summer months when fresh strawberries are readily available!
Mango: This recipe uses frozen mango cubes to make a thick and creamy smoothie. You can use store-bought frozen mango, or make your own frozen mango at home.
Coconut water: This has a pretty mild taste, which is what we want so the smoothie will taste like strawberries and mango!

Smoothie making tips

Always start by adding the liquid to your blender first, followed by fresh ingredients, then frozen ingredients on top. This will make it easier for the blender to blend everything together.
Make your own “homemade” frozen mango for this recipe. Cut up your fresh mango into cubes, then place it in the freezer to use in this recipe. Fresh fruit will always taste better than pre-packaged frozen fruit.
If you use fresh strawberries and mangos, add a handful of ice to the smoothie to help thicken it.

How to make a thick smoothie

Making a thick smoothie is all about using some frozen ingredients in the smoothie. If you use all fresh ingredients, you won’t end up with a thick and creamy smoothie. Frozen fruit is also better to use than ice, since ice can dilute the smoothie and leave it tasting a bit bland.

You can also add less liquid to a smoothie to help make it thicker, or a teaspoon of chia seeds, which are very absorbant and can help make a smoothie thicker.
