Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1 cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain preferred)

1 cup coconut milk (or your preferred milk)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional for added texture)

1/2 cup granola (for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruit: Start by thoroughly washing the strawberries under cool running water. Remove the green tops (hulling) and slice them evenly. Next, peel the mango and cut it into small, bite-sized pieces, discarding the pit and ensuring there are no large chunks.

    Blend the Base: In a powerful blender, add the sliced strawberries, diced mango, Greek yogurt, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and chia seeds (if you’re using them). Blend on high speed until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the smoothie mixture to determine if it meets your sweetness preference. Feel free to add more honey or syrup as needed to enhance the flavor.

        Chill the Mixture: For an extra refreshing treat, transfer the smoothie blend to a bowl and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes before serving. This step is optional but recommended for the best taste and texture.

          Assemble the Cups: Once chilled, take individual serving cups or bowls and pour the smoothie mixture into each one, filling them approximately three-quarters full to allow space for toppings.

            Add Toppings: Generously sprinkle granola on top of each smoothie cup to add a delightful crunch. For an attractive presentation, consider placing additional slices of strawberries and mango on top as a vibrant decoration.

              Garnish: Complete each cup with a fresh mint leaf positioned on top. This will not only add a splash of color but also a refreshing herbal note to the smoothie.

                Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Strawberry Mango Smoothie Cups without delay! If not serving right away, you can cover them with plastic wrap and keep them in the refrigerator for up to an hour.
