Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients including frozen mango, frozen strawberries, and your preferred liquid base to ensure a smooth preparation process.
- Load the Blender: Pour the liquid base into the blender first, followed by the frozen mango chunks and frozen strawberries. Add any optional sweeteners, protein powder, or boosters at this stage for enhanced flavor and nutrition.
- Start Blending: Blend on low speed initially, using a tamper if available to push the frozen fruit down towards the blades to avoid clogging.
- Increase Speed and Blend Smooth: Gradually increase the blender’s speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a small splash more of your chosen liquid and blend again.
- Pour into Bowl: Transfer the thick, creamy smoothie mixture into your favorite serving bowl, creating a perfect base for toppings.
