Tip:
- You may decide to add coconut milk into your mixture instead of water. Either ways is fine.
- You can add ice to the blender when blending to make the juice more colder and refreshing.
Are you thinking of adding veggies to this strawberry mango smoothie? If yes, the first veggie that should come to your mind should be carrots.

The second should be oranges. Infact let me use this opportunity to teach you a simple strawberry mango orange smoothie recipe.
This recipe looks like the afore mentioned, but with a little twist - the oranges.
Oranges are citrus fruits, so we need to be careful on how we use them, adding too much will make the smoothie more citrusy, and can also bury the strawberry and mango taste.
One more ingredients I'd be using in this juice recipe is honey, which will serve as a sweeter(it's optional and can be skipped)
