Strawberry Mango Smoothie
This Strawberry Mango Smoothie is filled with fresh fruit and tropical flavour, making you feel like you’re on vacation. Just 5 simple ingredients for this beautiful layered smoothie!
Rather than blending strawberries and mangoes together, this strawberry mango smoothie gives you layers of creamy deliciousness.
All you’ll need are five simple ingredients, but the layered presentation gives this smoothie a unique visual appeal, making it perfect to add some pep to your step as an afternoon pick-me-up or breakfast. You will definitely feel like you’re on the beach when you take a sip of this smoothie!
If you can get fresh mangoes then that is definitely the way to go—the flavour is irreplaceable. (And if you can’t get enough mangoes, be sure to make my mango basil salsa and mango coconut chia seed pudding!)

Notes on Ingredients
Scroll down to the recipe card to find the ingredient quantities and recipe instructions.
For the Strawberry Smoothie:
- Frozen strawberries – You can buy frozen strawberries or if you use fresh, freeze them overnight.
- Non-dairy milk – Whatever you like or have on hand. Oat milk and cashew milk are great!
- Non-dairy yogurt
- Maple syrup
For the Mango Smoothie:
- Sweet mangoes – If your mangoes are not ripe and sweet, you’ll likely need to add extra sweetener.
- Non-dairy yogurt – You can use homemade vegan yogurt or store-bought.
Can I Use Frozen Mangoes in This Recipe?
While I prefer fresh mangoes, I know that in some parts of the world, mangoes aren’t always widely available—or not at their peak freshness! In that case, you can definitely use frozen mangoes for this recipe. The smoothie will still have a delicious tropical flavor and creamy consistency.
How to Make a Strawberry Mango Smoothie
- Make the strawberry layer. Blend all of the ingredients together in a blender for 2 minutes or until smooth.
- Make the mango layer. Blend the yogurt and mango in the blender until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Layer. Pour half of the mango smoothie on the bottom of each glass, and half of the strawberry smoothie on top. (Or, you can make a few layers, as pictured. It’s up to you!)
Tips for Success
- Add the liquid to the blender first. This creates a vortex that pulls the solid ingredients toward the blade of the blender, making everything blend more evenly, without air pockets.
- Use frozen strawberries. Frozen strawberries work best in smoothies because they give a nice, creamy consistency.
- Scrape down your blender periodically. This ensures that all ingredients are well combined and you get a consistently smooth texture throughout.
- Make sure the mixture is completely smooth before pouring. Sometimes chunks of fruit will hide in the blender! Give it a good stir with a spoon to make sure there aren’t any unblended pieces before pouring the smoothie into serving glasses.
Variations and Serving Suggestions
As with most smoothie recipes, this strawberry mango smoothie is highly customisable. Here are a few ideas to make it your own:
- Add some greens. For an even healthier smoothie, try adding a handful of spinach or kale to one of the layers. (Yes, this will change the colour!)
- Add protein. For a more filling smoothie, add a scoop of your favourite unflavoured or vanilla protein powder to either or both layers.
- Top it. A sprinkle of hemp hearts, chia seeds, or fresh fruit for garnish adds a delicious and nutritious touch to this smoothie.
How to Store Leftovers
This strawberry mango smoothie is best enjoyed immediately, but you can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as the ingredients may have separated slightly. (Yes, this will ruin the layering, but it will still taste good!)
Can I Freeze This Recipe?
Freezing is a fantastic way to save your strawberry mango smoothie for another day. Simply pour the smoothie into a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, let it thaw in the fridge overnight and shake or stir before enjoying.
You can also pour the smoothie into popsicle moulds for a frozen treat!

The beach is my favorite vacation spot, too (although we have to travel pretty far to get to one)! We love the Carolina coast and usually get down there at least once a year – it’s such a fun, relaxing way to unplug and reconnect as a family! If this smoothie really can “transport me to a tropical country” then you know I’m picking Jamaica! (Look out … I’m packing my bags … 😀 ) Seriously, though – this is just beautiful! I love the layers!!! Pinning ASAP!
Haha you’re welcome to Jamaica Shelley! Thanks!
