Pineapple Mango Smoothie Recipe

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Servings: 2

Can be made dairy-free and vegan


Ingredients

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 cup mango chunks (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 banana (preferably ripe, for sweetness)

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt for vegan option)

  • ¾ cup orange juice (or coconut water/regular water for lighter option)

  • ½ cup ice (optional, more if using fresh fruit and you want it cold)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional, for extra fiber and nutrients)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients:

    • If using fresh fruit, cut pineapple and mango into chunks.

    • Peel the banana.

    • Measure out all ingredients and set aside.

  2. Add to Blender:

    • Start by adding the liquid (orange juice) to the blender. This helps the blades move freely.

    • Add Greek yogurt, then banana, followed by the mango and pineapple chunks.

    • Add ice cubes and any optional ingredients (sweetener, seeds).

  3. Blend:

    • Blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.

    • If it’s too thick, add a bit more liquid. If it’s too thin, add a few more ice cubes or frozen fruit chunks.

  4. Taste & Adjust:

    • Taste your smoothie. Add a touch of honey/maple syrup if more sweetness is desired.

    • Blend again for a few seconds if you added anything.

  5. Serve:

    • Pour into glasses.

    • Optional: Garnish with a slice of pineapple, mango chunks, or a sprig of mint.

    • Serve immediately while cold and fresh!

Tips & Variations

  • Vegan Option: Use plant-based yogurt (like coconut or almond yogurt) and maple syrup instead of honey.

  • Protein Boost: Add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder.

  • Creamier Texture: Add a splash of coconut milk or a few tablespoons of coconut cream.

  • Extra Greens: Throw in a handful of spinach—it won’t overpower the flavor but will add nutrients.

  • Storage: Best consumed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking.
