Strawberry Mango Smoothie
Ingredients:
- 1 c. honey Greek yogurt
- 1 c. frozen strawberries
- 1 mango
- 1/2 c. sugar
Directions
- Add all ingredients into the blender and cover.
- Activate the blender. If you have frozen ingredients that are not cooperating, use the pulse function and a little finesse to pulse your way into the perfect mixture.
- Taste your smoothie and adjust. Is there too much strawberry? Is there not enough pineapple? Is the smoothie too tart because you used Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt? Adjust the flavors just like you would do anything else.
- Serve in a glass, preferably with a straw. Garnish if desired.
