Helpful Tips

  • Always add the liquid first before the solids. So, in this case, add coconut water before the fruits. This will make it easier for your blender without straining it. Especially if you are not using a high-powered one.
  • We froze the mangoes and strawberries, so we do not need to add ice which will water down the smoothie. However, if you do not have time to freeze them, you can just add ice cubes and reduce the coconut water when blending.
  • The riper the fruits are the better! Ripe fruits are sweeter and softer, which are perfect for making smoothies.
  • Add more nutritious ingredients to your smoothie like vegan yogurt, chia seeds, greens, spices, and herbs (how to store fresh herbs to last).
  • Top it with nuts, coconut flakes, dried fruits, berries, or grounded flax seeds before serving to take it to the next level!

Frequently Asked Questions 

Why is my smoothie too thick?

This can happen, especially when using creamy fruits like mangoes and bananas. You need to add more liquid to thin it out.

Why is my smoothie too sour?

It can happen if the mango and strawberries you are using as not ripe or sweet enough. You can remedy this by adding a small amount of agave syrup to sweeten it up.

How can I make my smoothie creamier?

Bananas are always a great way to thicken your smoothies and add a wonderful flavor to them too. We also keep frozen bananas ready for this purpose. You can also add ground oats, vegan ice cream, or vegan yogurt to give it a thicker consistency.

Storing Ginger Fruit Smoothie

It would be great if we could make a huge batch of this and enjoy them the rest of the week, right? Unfortunately, smoothies are not made to be stored. They are easy enough to make anyways and are best enjoyed right off the blender. You can possibly make it an hour early and keep it in the fridge. Just make sure to give it a good stir before drinking.

  1. This is excellent! I love mango and make a lot of mango lahssis. This is a nice alternative when I don’t have any plant based yogurt. Thanks!
