Instructions
- Gather fresh, ripe strawberries and sweet mango, ensuring they are at peak ripeness for maximum flavor and smoothness.
- Combine the fruits, along with milk and any additional ingredients, into a high-powered blender.

- Serve immediately to preserve the fresh, cool temperature and optimal nutritional value, savoring the natural sweetness and creamy consistency.
Notes
- Experiment with frozen fruits to create a thicker, more frosty smoothie texture without adding extra ice.
- Swap dairy milk for plant-based alternatives like almond or coconut milk to make the smoothie vegan-friendly and suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals.
- Add a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt to boost nutritional value and make the smoothie more filling for a post-workout drink.
- Use ripe, in-season fruits for the most intense and natural sweetness, reducing or eliminating the need for additional sweeteners.
