Notes on Ingredients

Scroll down the recipe card for the ingredients quantities and the recipe instructions.

Strawberry Smoothie

• Frozen Strawberries - You can freeze fresh strawberries overnight or buy them frozen.
• Nondairy Milk -- Whatever you have or like. Cashew and oat milk are both great options!
• Non-dairy Yogurt
• Maple Syrup

Mango Smoothie Recipe:

• Sweet Mangoes If your mangoes do not taste sweet and ripe, you will need to add more sweetener.
• Nondairy Yogurt You can buy or make your own vegan yogurt.

Can I use frozen mangoes in this recipe?

Although I love fresh mangoes I understand that they are not always readily available in all parts of the globe, or at their best freshness. You can use frozen mangoes in this recipe if you have them. The smoothie will have a tropical flavor with a creamy consistency.

How to Make a Strawberry Mango smoothie

• Prepare the strawberry layer. Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
• Prepare the mango layer. Blend the mango and yogurt in a blender for about 2 minutes until creamy and smooth.
• Layer. Pour half the mango smoothie at the bottom of every glass and half the strawberry smoothie at the top. You can also make several layers as shown. You decide!

Success Tips

• Pour the liquid into the blender first. This will create a vortex which pulls all the ingredients towards the blade, resulting in a more even blend without any air pockets.
• Use frozen strawberry. Smoothies are best made with frozen strawberries because they have a creamy texture.
• Clean your blender periodically. This will ensure that the ingredients are all well mixed and that you have a smooth texture.
• Before pouring, make sure that the mixture is smooth. Some chunks of fruit can hide in your blender. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon to ensure there are no unblended chunks before you pour it into glasses.

Here are some variations and suggestions for serving.

This strawberry mango smoothie can be customised to your liking, as with many smoothie recipes. Here are some ideas for making it yours:

• Add some Greens. Add a handful or spinach to the top layer of your smoothie for an even healthier version. This will alter the colour.
• Add protein. Add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder or your favorite flavour to the top or bottom layer for a filling smoothie.
• Top It. This smoothie is enhanced with a sprinkle of hemp seeds, chia seed, or fresh fruit.

How to store leftovers

The strawberry mango smoothie tastes best when consumed immediately. However, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hrs. Before drinking, give it a good stir or shake as the ingredients might have separated. This will destroy the layers, but will still taste great.

Can I freeze this recipe?

You can save your strawberry-mango smoothie by freezing it for another time. Pour the smoothie in a container that can be frozen for up to three months. Let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then shake or stir.

Pour the smoothie in popsicle molds to make a frozen treat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a plant-based diet cause harm?

A lot of people have found health benefits in adopting a plantbased diet. However it is possible to become sick if you don't manage your diet properly or consult a doctor. People who transition to a more plant-based lifestyle must be aware of the importance of proper vitamin intake such as iron, B12 and omega 3 fatty acids. Eating an unbalanced diet without replacements for these substances can cause deficiencies and negative health impacts. In addition, living a vegan/plant based lifestyle may mean that you are unable to consume the valuable protein found in eggs and dairy. This could affect your muscle maintenance. Plant-based people should adjust their diets to suit their individual needs, consult a nutritionist, and avoid potential health hazards.

Can children eat a plant-based food?

Plant-based diets are becoming increasingly popular among adults due to their numerous health benefits. Parents may be concerned about whether a plant-based diet can be safe for their children. A well-planned diet that meets all of their nutritional needs can be a safe option for children.

A plant-based diet can provide all the nutrients necessary for children to grow and thrive. However, children need to be able to get sufficient iron, calcium (vitamin D), vitamin B12, and protein. Good sources of protein include beans, lentils and tofu. Fortified cereals and leafy plants contain iron. Fortified plant milk, calcium set tofu, leafy greens, and fortified plant milk all contain calcium, which is essential for strong bones. Vitamin D is important for bone health and can be obtained from fortified plant milk and sunlight exposure. Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin for healthy nerves. It can be found only in animal products. A B12 supplement may be necessary for children who are on a plant-based food diet.

It is crucial that children who follow a plant-based lifestyle consume enough calories in order to meet their energy demands. A variety of whole foods should be offered to children by their parents, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts. Children may need to eat more frequently or consume larger portions to meet their energy needs.

To ensure that your child's diet is healthy, it is a good idea to consult with a registered dietitian. They can also guide meal planning, supplementation, and age-appropriate portion sizes.

Children can follow a plant-based diet that meets all their nutritional requirements. With proper planning and guidance from a registered dietitian or healthcare professional, parents can ensure that their children eat a nutritious and healthy plant-based diet.

Are there any celebrity or athlete advocates of a plant-based diet?

Yes, there are many celebrity and athlete advocates of a plant-based diet. These include NBA player Kyrie Irving, Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, actress Natalie Portman, singer Meghan Trainor and NFL running back Kenneth Farrow. Each has embraced the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle for their reasons and achieved impressive results as an athlete or in their artistic endeavours. Actress Alicia Silverstone has even written a book on her experiences with the vegan lifestyle called Kind Diet. Professional tennis player Novak Djokovic has credited his career successes to his unconventional habit of eating primarily organic vegan foods during competitions; his stats have drastically improved since he adopted this regimen. All four professional athletes point to some significant qualities, including heightened energy levels, faster recovery from injuries, and improved overall health and wellness. Plant-based diets are a powerful tool to improve athleticism, as demonstrated by the success stories.

How To

How do you transition to a plant-based diet?

Although it can seem daunting to switch to a plant based diet, it is possible with the right preparation and education. To start, take baby steps and gradually incorporate the necessary dietary changes - replacing animal proteins with plant-based proteins, for example. Whole foods are healthier than processed replacements and provide more nutrition.

Dedication is key to successful meal prep and planning. It's important to plan ahead so you can know what you need and how much time you have to spend on each dish. Multi-cookers and slow cookers can be a great investment. Batch cooking allows you to make multiple meals in one sitting.

Don't be afraid to try new flavours. Trying different cuisines can bring a lot of variety into your vegan diet: think Chinese tofu dishes and Indian curries. You should create a grocery shopping list that is based upon recipes and not rely on impulse buying at the grocery stores. It will be easier to make the switch if you have the right ingredients and some helpful preparation tips.
