Equipment

  • 1 High-speed blender
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons –
  • 1 Sharp Knife
  • 1 Chopping Board
  • 1 Vegetable Peeler:
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Serving Glasses
  • 1 Straws Or Long Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Strawberries - Approximately 450 g
  • 3 Cups Ripe Mango Chunks - Approximately 450 g
  • 1½ Cups Plain Yoghurt - Approximately 360 g
  • 1½ Cups Milk - Approximately 360 ml
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey - Optional
  • 1 Cup Ice Cubes - Optional

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare The Strawberries

  • - Wash the strawberries thoroughly under clean running water.
  • - Remove the green leafy tops and discard any bruised or spoiled portions.
  • - Cut large strawberries into halves or quarters to make blending easier.
  • - If using frozen strawberries, allow them to soften slightly if your blender struggles with very hard fruit.
  • Choose fragrant, ripe strawberries for the best flavour. Naturally sweet fruit may not require additional sweetener.

Step 2: Prepare The Mangoes

  • - Wash the mangoes and peel off their skin.
  • - Cut the flesh away from the large central stones.
  • - Chop the mango flesh into small cubes.
  • - Measure approximately three cups of prepared mango chunks.
  • Ripe mangoes give your Strawberry Mango Smoothie its tropical sweetness and creamy consistency. Avoid fruit that smells fermented or has spoiled portions.

Step 3: Add The Ingredients To The Blender

  • - Pour the milk into the blender jug first.
  • - Add the plain yoghurt, prepared strawberries and mango chunks.
  • - Add the honey if needed.
  • - Add the ice cubes if using fresh fruit and you want an extra-cold drink.
  • Adding the liquid first helps the blades circulate the fruit more easily. Do not exceed your blender’s maximum fill line. Blend in batches if necessary.

Step 4: Blend Until Smooth

  • - Secure the blender lid firmly.
  • - Begin blending at a low speed for approximately 10 seconds.
  • - Increase to a medium or high speed and blend for another 30–60 seconds, or until the fruit is completely smooth.
  • - Stop the blender and inspect the consistency.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time. If it is too thin, add more frozen mango or strawberries and blend again.
  • Your Strawberry Mango Smoothie is ready when there are no noticeable fruit chunks and the mixture pours easily.

Step 5: Taste And Adjust

  • - Switch off the blender before opening the lid.
  • - Taste a small spoonful of the smoothie.
  • - Add a little honey if the fruit is too tart.
  • - Add a splash of milk if the flavour is too concentrated.
  • - Blend for another 5–10 seconds after making adjustments.
  • Honey is optional. The natural flavours of the strawberries and mangoes should remain the main focus.

Step 6: Pour And Serve

  • - Pour the finished smoothie into six small glasses or fewer larger glasses.
  • - Garnish each serving with a strawberry slice or a small piece of mango.
  • - Add a reusable straw if desired.
  • - Serve immediately while the smoothie is cold and creamy.

Notes

    • 🍓 Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavour, or frozen strawberries for a thicker, colder smoothie.
    • 🥭 Choose sweet, ripe mangoes to enhance the smoothie’s natural sweetness.
    • 🥛 Use Greek yoghurt for extra creaminess or dairy-free yoghurt and plant-based milk for a vegan option.
    • 🍯 Taste the smoothie before adding honey, as ripe fruit may provide enough sweetness.
    • 🧊 Use frozen fruit instead of ice cubes to achieve a thick consistency without diluting the flavour.
    • ⚡ Blend for 30–60 seconds, or until smooth and creamy.
    • 🥤 Add extra milk gradually if the smoothie is too thick.
    • ❄️ Serve immediately for the best taste, colour and texture.
    • 🧊 Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container at 4°C or below and consume within 24 hours.
    • 🍌 For a delicious variation, add a ripe banana, a handful of oats, or a splash of coconut milk.
