Instructions

Fresh Fruit Preparation:

Strawberries: Wash, dry, and slice 1 cup (144g) in half.
Banana: Slice 1 cup (237g) into 1-2 inch rounds.
Mango: Peel, remove the pit, and cube 1 cup (165g).

Frozen Fruit Preparation:

Strawberries and Mango: Use 1 cup of each, already frozen.
Banana: Slice 1 cup of banana into rounds, place in a Ziploc bag, and freeze for 30 minutes up to 48 hours.

Blended Smoothie Instructions:

Combine all ingredients (1 cup each of banana, mango, and strawberries, plus ½ cup non-dairy milk, milk, or juice, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice if using) in a blender.
Blend on low and gradually increase to medium speed. If blending stalls, add a tablespoon of liquid and use a wooden spoon to loosen any chunks.

Layered Smoothie Instructions:

Start by blending the first fruit and spooning it into a glass to avoid splashing. Place the glass in the refrigerator. Blend the second fruit. Use a spoon to gently add it on top of the first layer in the glass. Return the glass to the refrigerator. Repeat the process with the third fruit, adding it as the final layer.

Notes

Blending Speed: Start the blender at a low speed and gradually increase to medium speed. If the blender starts at too high a speed, the fruit may stick to the sides.
Not Blending: Add one tablespoon of liquid and use a wooden spoon to loosen any chunks at the bottom. Avoid adding too much liquid to maintain the smoothie’s consistency.
Protecting the Motor: Depending on your blender, you may need to take breaks to prevent overheating.
Storing:
- Fridge: Place it in an airtight container, such as a mason jar, for up to two days. If the ingredients separate, shake them together. You can also reblend with added ice cubes for a slushier texture.
  Freezer: Keep it in an airtight container, such as a mason jar, for up to two weeks. Place it on the counter for five to ten minutes to slightly thaw.
  Meal Planning: I recommend making this recipe in large batches. Then, freezing in individual portions. Remove the individual serving from the freezer and place it on the counter for five to ten minutes before drinking. If thawing a larger batch, allow more thaw time.
