- 1/2 cup ice cubes

How to Make Mango Strawberry Sunrise Frappuccinos
Step 1: Blend the Mango Layer
Start by adding your frozen mango chunks, mango or orange juice, milk, ice cubes, and a drizzle of honey (if you want it a bit sweeter) to your blender. Blend everything on high speed until you get a silky-smooth, thick mixture. This is your golden mango base—taste it and adjust sweetness if needed!
Step 2: Create the Strawberry Layer
Once your mango mixture is ready, pour about half into two tall glasses. Rinse out your blender (quickly swish some water around and pour it out) so the colors stay vibrant. Add frozen strawberries and just a splash of water or juice—just enough to help the blender along. Blend until the strawberries turn into a smooth, vibrant pink puree.
Step 3: Layer for the Sunrise Effect
This step is what makes Mango Strawberry Sunrise Frappuccinos so visually stunning! Carefully spoon the strawberry mixture over the mango base in each glass. If you want the layers to stay more defined, pop the glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before adding the strawberry layer. Watch as the colors swirl together, just like a perfect sunrise!
Step 4: Top It Off and Garnish
If you’re feeling fancy (and why not?), add a crown of whipped cream to each glass. Finish with slices of fresh strawberry and chunks of mango on top. Not only does this make your drinks look irresistible, but it also adds extra bursts of flavor with every sip.
How to Serve Mango Strawberry Sunrise Frappuccinos
Garnishes
Garnishing really elevates Mango Strawberry Sunrise Frappuccinos from just a drink to a show-stopping centerpiece. I love adding a swirl of whipped cream and then sprinkling on fresh fruit or a little drizzle of honey. A colorful straw pairs perfectly—I recommend a reusable one to be eco-friendly and chic!
Side Dishes
For a light and summery vibe, serve these frappuccinos with buttery croissants, fruit salad, or a plate of yogurt parfaits. If you’re going for brunch, they’re heavenly alongside cinnamon rolls or mini breakfast sandwiches. The pairing options are endless thanks to the drink’s refreshing, fruity profile.
Creative Ways to Present
Try making mini Mango Strawberry Sunrise Frappuccinos in small glass jars for parties or brunches—they look adorable and are the perfect individual treat. You can also pour them into clear mason jars, tie with a ribbon, or serve in fancy cocktail glasses to let the sunrise swirls shine. Don’t hesitate to get playful with your glassware and toppings!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you somehow have leftover Mango Strawberry Sunrise Frappuccinos (trust me, it’s rare!), just pour the extras into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Keep it in the fridge, and give it a quick shake or stir before sipping again. The texture may be a bit thinner but it’ll still be delicious for up to a day.
Freezing
For longer storage, pour your frappuccino into an airtight container and freeze. When you’re ready to enjoy, let it thaw just enough to break apart with a spoon, then give it a quick blitz in the blender to restore that frosty, creamy texture. It makes a wonderful frozen treat on a hot day!
Reheating
Since Mango Strawberry Sunrise Frappuccinos are meant to be icy and refreshing, reheating isn’t recommended. If your frozen frappuccino gets too solid, just let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then blend briefly with a splash of juice or milk to bring it back to life.
FAQs
Can I make these frappuccinos completely dairy-free?
Absolutely! Swap in almond, coconut, oat, or any non-dairy milk you love. The drink will be just as creamy, vibrant, and delicious—perfect for anyone avoiding dairy.
What if I don’t have a high-speed blender?
No worries! Just chop your frozen fruit into smaller pieces and add a little extra juice or milk to help everything blend. It might take a bit longer, but you’ll still end up with a smooth, dreamy frappuccino.
How can I make the layers extra distinct?
The secret is to freeze the mango layer for a few minutes before topping with the strawberry puree. This keeps the colors bright and prevents them from blending together too quickly. It’s a fun touch that makes Mango Strawberry Sunrise Frappuccinos really eye-catching!
Can I sweeten these without honey or agave?
Definitely! If you want to skip sweeteners, rely on extra-ripe mango and strawberries for their natural sugars, or add a splash of vanilla extract for warmth. You can also use maple syrup or even date syrup as a twist.
Are these suitable for kids?
Yes, kids love Mango Strawberry Sunrise Frappuccinos! They’re fruity, colorful, and refreshing—and you can skip the added sweetener or whipped cream if you’d like to keep them lighter. Suggest fun straws and cups to make it extra special for little ones.
