High protein banana mango strawberry smoothie
If you enjoy fruity, creamy smoothies, this tropical blend is a favorite. Mango brings vibrant sweetness and great texture, and you can use fresh or frozen fruit so you can make it year-round.
This recipe uses just five ingredients: banana, strawberries, mango, milk, and yogurt. It’s thick, smooth, and satisfying, and delivers around 15 grams of natural protein from the yogurt—enough for a filling snack or light breakfast. You can add a scoop of protein powder if you want extra protein, but it’s not necessary.
Tops like crunchy granola or a sprinkle of chia or hemp seeds make this smoothie into a more complete breakfast or an indulgent, healthy dessert.
Why you’ll love this smoothie recipe:

How to make a banana mango strawberry smoothie
Making this smoothie is fast and straightforward. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately. Step-by-step:
Step 1:
Add the banana, mango, strawberries, milk, and yogurt to a high-speed blender.
Step 2:
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. For a thinner consistency, add more milk. For a thicker texture, add extra frozen banana or a few ice cubes.
Step 3:
Pour into a glass and enjoy right away.
Tips for making a thick smoothie
- Use frozen bananas: Chopped frozen banana thickens the smoothie without diluting it like ice.
- Use frozen berries or mango: Frozen fruit keeps the texture dense and creamy and can be more economical.
- Start with less milk: Begin with ½ cup and add more if you prefer a thinner drink.
- Add a bit of ice if needed: A few ice cubes (no more than about 8) can thicken the drink, but too many will make it icy.
Should I use fresh or frozen mangos?
Both fresh and frozen mangos work well. Use frozen fruit to get a thick, chilly texture any time of year. If you use fresh mango, rely on at least one frozen component (banana or strawberries) to preserve creaminess.
- Fresh: Choose a frozen banana or frozen berries to keep the smoothie thick.
- Frozen: Frozen mango allows you to make this recipe year-round and keeps the texture dense.
