Today, I’m sharing a tasty new Strawberry Mango Green Smoothie recipe. Green smoothies have been all the rage for over the past year and I don’t see them going away any time soon. It’s a great way to get your greens in and still have the sweet flavors of a fruit smoothie. I partnered up with Stonyfield Greek Yogurt to make this smoothie.
I always have individual containers of Stonyfield Plain Greek Yogurt in my refrigerator. I mostly add it into smoothies; however, I also like to use Greek Yogurt on baked potatoes, in dips, and just eating plain with fruit and granola. I love making smoothies as an afternoon snack. Any time you make a smoothie you always want to put the liquid at the bottom–this will help blend your smoothie more evenly and quickly. I like to layer in my ingredients then blend and blend until everything is pureed. The day I made and photographed this Strawberry Mango Green Smoothie, my son Ryder, for some reason was not feeling the noise of the blender. So I didn’t get to blend it for as long as I normally do hence giving it a little speckled look. It still tasted just as good as normal, just not pure green!
I also have started making my son green smoothies (just no yogurt yet) to help him get his fruits and veggies in. It’s a little more like a juice, but still very similar. He loves them and drinks them up, and I can’t wait in the coming months to start making him full out afternoon smoothies with me. If you love smoothies–and green smoothies then you should definitely try my Strawberry Mango Green Smoothie.

In your post you said that you don’t yet give your son yogurt…how do you make smoothies for him? Can you share a recipe or did you already in a prior post? Thanks.

Elsa–I’ve had him try yogurt and it seemed to bother his stomach. I make the smoothie with everything except the yogurt. So it’s more like a juice. I will blend banana and spinach with a little water. He loves it!
