Gluten Free Vegan Strawberry Mango Smoothie That You Must Try.
Intro
Summer is upon us now and this time every year I break out the blender to start making smoothies again. When breaking out the blender and drinking the smoothie on a hot summer day I am always flabbergasted at myself by the fact that I stopped drinking smoothies. Then I am quickly reminded that smoothies in the cold weather, whilst still delicious, are a one stop trip to frozen lane. So, whilst we get to enjoy these beautiful months of summer where there is a warm sun and a cool breeze in the air, I hope you will also enjoy a nice smoothie to sit back and relax every once in a while.
The recipe that I have chosen to share with you today is one of my favourite smoothie recipes of all time, and one that I came up with many summers ago. I really love that it is vegan, gluten free and only has 4 ingredients, plus no ice! I am sorry, I never have understood the putting ice in a smoothie thing it just doesn’t make sense to me, as all you get at the end of the day is just a watered down smoothie (however I do understand the appeal of fresh fruit😉). But anyway, my recipe completely skips putting ice in the blender by just using frozen fruit and keeping the smoothie cool without the ice shards in your drink!

Tips and Tricks
Eyeballing the measurements
- In the equipment list I didn’t add a scale to the list because, whilst for this recipe I have used specific measurements as a guide for anyone who wants to follow the recipe, I do change the recipe all the time depending on whether I want a thicker smoothie (so less yoghurt and less cranberry juice with more mango or strawberries) or if I want a thinner/ runnier smoothie (so more yoghurt and more cranberry juice with less mango or strawberries)
Make sure to add the cranberry juice and the yoghurt last
- This tip really depends on the machine that you are using, as you can see from the picture I am using a nutribullet which means that when I add my ingredients eventually everything will be turned upside down. So, by adding the cranberry juice in last it allows for the juice to not potentially get trapped in the bottom of the machine
- This tip doesn’t really apply if you have got a normal blender (however, maybe it does as I have not used a normal blender for this recipe so who knows😉🤷♀️
Changing the recipe to what suits you
- I know I say it all of the time in my recipes, but I really do mean it when I say that this recipe is just a guide. If you don’t like certain things, or you want to adapt it to suit you, then go on ahead! I think that is one of the best parts about cooking and making food in general, you are really just creating what suits you. There will 100% be hiccups along the way where you make a creation that is a bit dodgy, but it will really just bring you one step closer to a go to recipe that you absolutely love, so make sure to be creative!
Decorations
- I didn’t add anything on top of my smoothie, because (1) I think that smoothies by themselves are a really good stand alone thing and (2) I meant for this recipe to be a go to drink for everyday life (e.g. a breakfast smoothie or a healthy snack). But if you really want to spice up this recipe and add loads of toppings then be sure to add as many as you want. Some suggestions: having some fresh fruit on the side, or you could always convert this recipe into the base of a smoothie bowl and then add granola and nuts to said bowl!
This tips and tricks section is really just about encouraging you Gluten Free VIPs to not be afraid to make this recipe your own and tailored to you and your tastes! Feel free to be fun and adventurous with your cooking! Enjoy!😊😊😊
