Mango Strawberry and Banana Smoothie
This Mango Strawberry and Banana Smoothie is the perfect breakfast or quick snack that is also refreshing. It is made with both accessible and healthy ingredients to fuel your body.
When the weather gets hot, all I want for breakfast or lunch is a smoothie to cool off!
They’re refreshing and incredibly easy to make.
However, one of my favorite parts about a smoothie is that you can make them using any fruit you have on hand.
I tend to keep frozen bananas in my freezer at all times because they are a major key in making a thick, creamy smoothie.

Frequently Asked Questions
I love to use coconut water in this recipe. However, I also use almond milk a lot of the time. Both are delicious and work with many flavors!
No, the fresh fruit won’t create a thick and creamy smoothie.
I prefer to use a vanilla or unflavored protein powder. You can use a whey protein powder or vegan friendly protein powder as both will work. One I use a lot is Orgain’s Vanilla Protein Powder.
You can! However, I recommend making only one day prior or the night before consuming for ultimate freshness.
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
