How to make a strawberry smoothie

Many people love a strawberry banana smoothie, but I am just not one of them! Instead of using banana as a thickener and natural sweetener, I prefer mango. If you prefer banana, simply swap the mango for half a banana (fresh or frozen).

1. In a blender, combine frozen strawberries, frozen mango, plain yogurt and chia seeds.
2. Add a liquid of your choice, it could be almond milk (my go to!), regular dairy milk, or even water.
3. Blend until smooth and enjoy!

Is this strawberry smoothie with yogurt sweet? As written, it is not very sweet. You can add an optional 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup if you’d like!

Can I turn this strawberry smoothie with yogurt into a green smoothie? Sure! I like to blend my greens with the liquid before adding the rest of the ingredients, because that way they get completely blended smooth (who likes chunks of spinach in their smoothie? Not me!).

• add 3/4 cup packed spinach
• or 1/2 cup packed kale

If you find you can still taste the greens after blending, try adding a 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. I find this really helps to mask the flavor! 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon can help, too.

Want to boost the nutrients in this strawberry mango smoothie? Try adding:

• 1 tablespoons hemp seeds
• 1 tablespoons ground flax
• 1/4 of an avocado (I promise you can’t taste it!)
• 1 tablespoons goji berries
• 1 tablespoons coconut oil

Want to turn this strawberry mango smoothie into a meal? Try adding one of the following:

• 1/4 cup oatmeal (gives it some staying power)
• 1/2 scoop protein power (also gives it some staying power)
• 3 oz silken tofu
