A delicious dairy free, vegan healthy strawberry smoothie with banana and mango. So easy to make and perfect for summer!
Make a sunny escape in just two minutes with this high-protein, dairy-free Healthy Strawberry Smoothie! It’s the perfect nourishing breakfast or snack option to fuel your busy days — even when you’d rather be lounging on a beach!
February is definitely the time of year when we get that itch for warmer, sunnier days.
Virginia has some very gray, cold winters, and by now we’re all over it. Bring on Spring!
This Healthy Strawberry Smoothie is one of the easiest ways to brighten your mornings and bring a little bit of the tropics into your own kitchen — no matter what the weather looks like outside.
Best of all, the high-protein, dairy-free strawberry smoothie comes together in about 2 minutes with just a handful of simple ingredients. It’s a plant-based snack that tastes like dessert!
Seriously, this is SO thick and creamy!
You can pick up everything that you need for this healthy strawberry smoothie at your local Target, so you don’t have to worry about hard-to-find ingredients or time-consuming stops at multiple stores.
I’m keeping it really easy!
There are two main ingredients that form the base of the smoothie. First, the liquid: I love this So Delicious Dairy Free Organic Almondmilk because it’s a better-for-you, dairy-free option that’s low in calories yet still incredibly creamy.
It comes in three different varieties, including Original, Vanilla, and Unsweetened. Any of these options will work perfectly in your strawberry smoothie.
The second main ingredient in this healthy strawberry smoothie is the FRUIT! For a quick option that helps the snack come together in minutes, I keep a bag of no-sugar added Mango & Strawberry Blend frozen fruit in my freezer.
This eliminates any chopping, peeling, or prep work, and has all of the same nutritional benefits as fresh fruit. Plus, the frozen fruit helps to thicken the strawberry smoothie and give it that creamy, milkshake-like texture!
This Mango & Strawberry Blend includes frozen pineapple chunks as well, so it’s definitely got that delicious tropical taste. Remember…we’re dreaming of beach vacations over here!
I also like to use frozen, sliced banana in my smoothie since it adds really nice texture (and it’s a great way to use up overripe bananas that would otherwise be left sitting on my countertop).
How To Make This Healthy Strawberry Smoothie
The frozen fruit and the almondmilk go in a high-speed blender, along with a pinch of salt and a scoop of your favorite vanilla-flavored plant-based protein powder (also available at Target).
If you’re serving the smoothie to kids and you’d rather omit the protein powder, that’s fine too!
After a quick whirl in the blender, you can dive right into this thick, satisfying, sweet, and tasty Mango and Strawberry Smoothie!
It’s a simple way to add nutrients to your diet in a fun way, and it’s a great escape from the winter blues as we wait (not-so-patiently) for warmer weather to arrive!

Healthy Strawberry Smoothie With Mango
A delicious dairy free, vegan healthy strawberry smoothie with banana and mango. So easy to make and perfect for summer!
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen no-sugar added Mango and Strawberry Blend
- ½ banana sliced and frozen
- ¾ cup So Delicious Dairy Free Organic Almondmilk or more, as needed for thinning
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder optional*
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender. Puree until smooth. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add additional almondmilk in very small increments until it reaches the desired consistency.
Recipe Notes
*Be sure to use a plant-based protein powder for a dairy-free smoothie.
Note: The ingredient measurements are simply a guideline. Feel free to use more (or less) almondmilk and more or less frozen fruit so that your smoothie reaches your preferred consistency. I like a really thick smoothie that I can eat with a spoon, so I always start with a very small amount of liquid and add more, slowly, as needed.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of So Delicious Dairy Free. The opinions and text are all mine.
I have been making a variation if this smoothie in our house for years, although I never added salt. Do you know what it adds? I am on a low salt duet, so just curious. Also, I add a tablespoon of honey for sweetness and sometimes add about a 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt for added thickness.
Hey, Meg! You can totally omit the salt if you’re watching your salt intake. I like to add a pinch of salt to most of my smoothies because I think it’s a nice counterbalance to the sweetness of the protein powder and fruit. Just a personal preference, though, so if your tastebuds like the smoothie without the salt, there’s no need to add it in. 🙂
What kind of protein powder do you use? I use a dairy, whey and soy free mix but am always curious to hear what others use.
Hi, Tina!
I like a bunch of different options, so I tend to go with whichever brand is on sale or easily available when I need it. 🙂
For a plant-based powder, I like Vega and I like Tone It Up (both are at Target). For whey protein, I like Quest or IdealLean. Hope that helps!
Such a delicious combo! I love anything with mango!
Me too, Kristy! Thank you!
