Anyone who enjoys smoothies for breakfast knows a little prep can go a long way. Portioning all the ingredients into zip-top bags ahead of time and storing them in the freezer is the difference between a hectic morning and a much more relaxed one, and this recipe utilizes that smart technique. Blend one of these frozen strawberry-mango packs with a splash of almond milk, and you’ve got a refreshing and lightning-fast smoothie.

Ingredients

8 ounces strawberries (or 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries)
1 medium mango (or 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, plus more as needed
Garnish options: diced mango and diced strawberries

Instructions

Prep the following, placing them in a quart sized zip-top bag: Hull and slice 8 ounces strawberries (or use 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries). Peel and slice 1 medium mango (or use 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks). Add 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, seal the bag, and freeze until solid, at least 2 hours and up to 3 months.
When ready to eat, transfer the frozen ingredients into a blender and add 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk. (If the frozen fruit has stuck together, lightly hit it against the counter while still in the bag to break it up before adding it to the blender.)
Blend on high speed until very smooth, 30 to 60 seconds, adding more almond milk if needed to thin it out. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with diced mango and diced strawberries, if desired. Serve immediately.
