Strawberry Banana Mango Smoothie No Yogurt Recipe
I absolutely adore this smoothie recipe because it’s like a burst of sunshine in a glass, brimming with fresh, tropical flavors that instantly lift my spirits. Plus, it’s super easy to customize with my favorite milk and sweetener, making it the perfect quick, healthy treat for any time of the day!
I adore beginning my day with the invigorating Strawberry Banana Mango Smoothie that omits yogurt but doesn’t sacrifice flavor. This smoothies base is brimming with the natural sugars of fresh strawberries and mango and boasts the creamy mouthfeel yielded by bananas.
Almond milk is its liquid base, adding an earthy note and good nutrition. For those who like a hint of extra sweetness, I suggested a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, which elevates the smoothie to even more luscious heights.
Ice cubes bring it all together; my, oh my! If you like the thickness of a shake but still want an energizing morning drink, this smoothie is for you.

FAQ

Substitutions and Variations
1 cup strawberries: Replace with 1 cup blueberries or raspberries and experience a 180-degree spin on your berry flavor.
1 banana: For a different flavor, use 1/2 avocado in place of a banana.
1 cup fresh mango: Replace with 1 cup of peaches or pineapple for a similar tropical sweetness.
1 cup almond milk: Substitute with 1 cup coconut water or orange juice for a different liquid base.
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup: If you prefer not to use these, substitute with 1 tablespoon agave nectar or a date for natural sweetness.
Pro Tips
1. Freeze Your Fruits: For an even thicker and colder smoothie, use frozen strawberries, banana, and mango. This can eliminate or reduce the need for ice cubes, preventing dilution and intensifying the fruity flavor.
2. Enhance with Extras: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for added nutritional benefits and a boost of omega-3 fatty acids. They also help thicken the smoothie slightly.
3. Boost the Creaminess: Include a quarter of an avocado or a spoonful of Greek yogurt for an extra creamy texture without overpowering the fruity taste.
4. Flavor Variations: Consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance the flavor profile and add a new dimension to the smoothie.
5. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add more almond milk in small increments. If it’s too thin, a handful of oats or a bit more banana can thicken it up naturally.
