About this smoothie
Mango and strawberry are one of the most popular fruit pairings in smoothie bars, and for good reason: the mango gives body and sweetness, the strawberry brings acidity and aroma. Using frozen strawberries is practical, as they are picked ripe and make ice cubes unnecessary. Both fruits are rich in vitamin C. Coconut water keeps the drink light and dairy free. It suits breakfast, a hot afternoon or a drink after training.
Bartender tips
Let very hard frozen berries sit for 5 minutes before blending to protect the blender.
Taste before serving: a squeeze of lime helps if the fruit is very sweet.
Variations
Creamy version
Replace half the coconut water with natural yogurt for a thicker, tangier smoothie.
