Instructions

Prepare the ingredients: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove their stems. Peel and chop the banana if it isn’t already cut. If using fresh mango, peel it carefully and cut into bite-sized chunks.
Blend the base: Place the strawberries, mango chunks, banana, Greek yogurt, and coconut water into your blender, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Sweeten (optional): Add the tablespoon of honey if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, balancing the natural fruit flavors with additional sweetness.
Add ice: For a colder, frosty texture, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.
Blend until smooth: Blend everything on high speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure even blending.
Taste and adjust: Sample your smoothie and adjust the sweetness or thickness by adding more honey, extra coconut water to thin, or more ice cubes to thicken and chill.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass, optionally garnish with a slice of strawberry or mango, and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use frozen mango or strawberries to create a chilled smoothie without adding ice.
Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess, but you can substitute with a plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free version.
If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add more coconut water or a splash of fresh orange juice.
Adjust sweetness to your preference; the natural sugars from fruit might be enough without honey.
