- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 banana
- Juice of ½ lime (optional, for brightness)
Liquids

Dairy & Sweeteners
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the frozen strawberries, frozen mango chunks, banana, coconut water (or pineapple juice), and yogurt.
- Blend Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no large fruit pieces remaining.
- Adjust Sweetness and Flavor: Taste the smoothie and add honey or maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired. Add lime juice to introduce a tangy tropical brightness.

Notes
- To make this smoothie dairy-free or vegan, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or omit yogurt entirely for a lighter version.
- For an extra nutrient boost, add a handful of fresh spinach—it won’t affect the flavor noticeably.
- Use pineapple juice if you prefer a sweeter liquid base instead of coconut water.
- The smoothie is best enjoyed immediately to preserve freshness and texture.
