Ingredients and simple swaps

• 1 cup frozen mango chunks — the smoothie’s sunny base and natural sweetness.
• 3/4 cup frozen strawberries — adds color, tang, and that sunrise hue.
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or a dairy-free yogurt to keep it creamy.
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup cold water, coconut water, or almond milk for blending.
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional depending on fruit ripeness.
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or a squeeze of lime for brightness.

Swap notes: use fresh mango and extra ice if frozen mango isn’t available, or swap yogurt for a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout option. For more fruit-centered combos and ratios that work well with this recipe style, see 17 best fruit smoothie recipes.

Step-by-step blending method

Start by adding the liquid to the blender, then the yogurt, followed by frozen mango and strawberries; this order helps the blades move smoothly. Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is uniformly smooth and pours without large fruit chunks.

Texture tips: if it’s too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water and blend again; if too thin, add a few more frozen pieces to thicken. To boost fiber and keep the smoothie aligned with the healthy angle of the title, stir in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds after blending and let sit 2–3 minutes to thicken — for ideas that use chia in smoothies, see 26 chia seed smoothies for fiber and omega-3 boost.

Serving, storage, and make-ahead tips

Serve immediately in a chilled glass to enjoy the freshest color and flavor reminiscent of a sunrise. For a layered sunrise effect, puree strawberries separately and pour into the glass first, then gently add the mango mixture so the colors settle in layers.

Make-ahead: store the blended smoothie in an airtight jar in the refrigerator up to 24 hours for best flavor; shake before drinking. For longer storage, pour into popsicle molds or freezer-friendly jars and freeze — defrost slightly before blending to restore creamy texture.
