Instructions

Fresh Fruit Preparation:

Strawberries: Wash, dry, and slice 1 cup (144g) the strawberries in half.
Banana: Slice 1 cup (150g) 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. If it is 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: You can store your smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. The ingredients will separate the longer they are stored. To bring the it's creamy texture back together, you will need to shake it or blend it. I recommend adding more frozen fruit to bring it back to the creamy texture.
