Strawberry Pineapple Mango Smoothie

Strawberry Pineapple Mango Smoothie

Ingredients

  • Strawberry: 4–5 fresh or frozen berries.

  • Pineapple: 1/2 cup fresh or frozen chunks.

  • Mango: 1/2 cup fresh or frozen chunks.

  • Chia Seeds: 1 tablespoon.

  • Liquid Base: 1 cup of your choice (Water, Coconut Water, or Almond Milk work best for this flavor profile).

  • Optional: A squeeze of lime or a teaspoon of honey if you prefer it extra sweet.


Instructions

  1. Prep the Fruit: Wash the strawberries and remove the green stems. If using fresh mango and pineapple, peel and dice them into cubes.

  2. Combine: Add the strawberries, pineapple, mango, and chia seeds into your blender.

  3. Add Liquid: Pour in your chosen liquid base. Using frozen fruit will result in a thicker, colder smoothie; if using fresh fruit, you may want to add 1/2 cup of ice.

  4. Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the chia seeds are well incorporated and the mixture is completely smooth.

  5. Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.


Why this combination works:

  • Mango & Pineapple: Provide a creamy texture and a burst of tropical Vitamin C.

  • Strawberries: Add a light tartness and antioxidants.

  • Chia Seeds: These are “powerhouse” seeds that add healthy Omega-3 fatty acids and help keep you feeling full longer.
