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
-
Prep the Fruit: Wash the strawberries and remove the green stems. If using fresh mango and pineapple, peel and dice them into cubes.
-
Combine: Add the strawberries, pineapple, mango, and chia seeds into your blender.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
