1 ripe banana (adds natural sweetness and creaminess)

½ avocado (for healthy fats and a silky texture)
-
1 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen, adds tropical sweetness)

1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen, for tanginess and vitamin C)

Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for maximum freshness!
