A Mango Strawberry Banana Smoothie is one of our favorite breakfast or lunches. They are a great way for cleaning out the fridge of fresh fruit before it goes bad or putting inexpensive frozen fruit to good use. Fruit smoothies are healthy and a great way to get your family to eat their fruits without complaint.

Basic Recipe for Perfect Smoothies

This base recipe for smoothies is how to make a creamy smoothie every time. Follow these ingredient quantities when substituting with different fruits and liquids.

Fresh Fruit Smoothies

  • 2 cups fresh fruit
  • ¾ cup liquid
  • ½ cup yogurt
  • 1 banana (optional)

Frozen Fruit Smoothies

  • 2 cups frozen fruit
  • 1 cup liquid
  • ½ cup yogurt
  • 1 banana (optional)

Ingredients

This mango strawberry banana smoothie uses:

  • Strawberries
  • Mangos
  • Bananas
  • Milk
  • Yogurt
  • Optional: chia seeds can be added for a little thickness and nutrients but some people don't like their texture.

Use fresh or frozen fruit, but make sure to check out the notes in the recipe for small changes if necessary.

If you'd like to garnish your smoothie, fresh mint leaves and/or whipped cream taste delicious.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Making a mango strawberry banana smoothie, or any smoothie, is quick and easy. We make all our smoothies in our Instant Ace Blender, which has a special "smoothie" setting. But any blender works!

STEP 1: Add all ingredients to the blender, in the order your blender suggests.

STEP 2: Blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds, or until fruit has been completely blended and is smooth. If using an Instant Ace Cooking Blender, choose the "smoothie" option. This will take 90 seconds.

Pour, garnish if desired, and enjoy!

Variations

  • Make it thinner: use a little more liquid.
  • Make it thicker: use a little less liquid or more fruit. A tablespoon of chia seeds will also thicken it a bit.
  • More strawberry flavor: add ½ cup more strawberries and ½ cup less mango.
  • More mango flavor: add ½ cup more mango and ½ cup less strawberries.
  • Non-dairy: use coconut water and dairy-free yogurt.

Smoothie Liquid Options

Depending on your flavor preference, dietary needs and what you have at home, these are some of the best liquids to use in smoothies.

  • Milk
  • Non-dairy milks, such as almond milk, oat milk, soy milk and coconut milk
  • Coconut water
  • Orange juice
  • Pineapple juice
  • Water/ice

Use one of these liquids or a combination for the ultimate smoothie!

Smoothie Fruit Options

The options for making smoothies are endless. Some of the best fruits for smoothies are berries and other citrus fruits.

  • Strawberry
  • Mango
  • Raspberry
  • Blueberry
  • Pineapple
  • Peach
  • Banana (for flavor and texture)
  • Dragon fruit
  • Coconut
  • Kiwi
  • Orange

Fruits like grapes, apples, and plums don't make great smoothies because they don't blend smoothly and will leave you with chunky smoothies or those with bits of fruit floating around.

Easy Changes For Non-Dairy Fruit Smoothies

To make your smoothies dairy-free choose these dairy free options. It's as simple as changing the liquid and yogurt used.

Liquids: coconut water, almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, soy milk, pineapple juice or orange juice

Yogurt: go with plant-based yogurts, like almond milk or coconut milk yogurts.

Making The Best Fruit Smoothies

What Are The Best 2 Fruit Smoothie Flavors?

There are so many combinations of fruits that go well together, so get creative! Some of the most popular 2-fruit combinations are strawberry banana, strawberry mango, pineapple coconut, strawberry raspberry, mango pineapple, strawberry peach and pineapple banana.

What Are The Best 3 Fruit Combinations For Smoothies?

Some of the best 3-fruit combinations for smoothies are mango strawberry banana, strawberry peach banana, pineapple coconut banana, strawberry raspberry blueberry, and mango pineapple banana.

What Liquid Goes Best In A Smoothie?

Milk (dairy or non-dairy), flavored waters and some juices work great for smoothies. Almond milk, coconut milk and oat milk are non-dairy milks that add a little bit of flavor. Coconut water, pineapple juice, and orange juice also add a good amount of flavor and eliminate the dairy and extra calories that milk often has. Plain water and ice are my least favorite liquid for smoothies, as they dilute the flavor and decrease the creaminess.

What Can I Put In A Smoothie To Thicken It?

Bananas are perfect for thickening smoothies. They have a subtle flavor that won't overpower the others and are a wholesome way to thicken a smoothie, make it more creamy, and to keep it all-natural. Coconut cream can be used too. Or, just add more fruit a little at a time and re-blend until the consistency you desire has been reached if you're smoothie has turned out too watery.
