Instructions
- Gather fresh strawberries, ripe mango, yogurt, and additional smoothie ingredients at room temperature to ensure optimal blending consistency.
- Combine all components into a high-powered blender, ensuring ingredients are evenly distributed for uniform mixing.

Notes
- Swap frozen fruits for fresh ones to adjust the smoothie’s thickness and temperature without diluting flavors.
- Use dairy-free milk alternatives like almond or coconut milk to make the smoothie vegan and accommodate lactose-sensitive diets.
- Add a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds for extra nutrition and to transform the smoothie into a more substantial meal replacement.
- Enhance tropical notes by garnishing with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or a small mint leaf for visual appeal and added freshness.
