This Mango Pineapple Juice is a refreshing drink made with sweet mango and tangy pineapple. It’s perfect for hot days and packed with fruity flavor that feels both tasty and healthy.
I like to imagine I’m on a tropical vacation whenever I sip this. It’s the kind of juice that makes me smile without needing a beach nearby!
For a twist, I sometimes add a splash of coconut water. It makes the drink even more refreshing and gives it a little extra tropical flair.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Mango: This sweet, juicy fruit is the star of this juice. I like using ripe mangos for the best flavor. If fresh isn’t available, frozen mango chunks work great and save prep time. Just thaw before blending.
Pineapple: Adds a tangy, tropical zing. Fresh pineapple gives a bright flavor, but canned pineapple works well too—just drain the juice to avoid watering down the drink. Fresh or frozen pineapple can both be used easily.
Juice: I prefer using water or coconut water to keep it light. For a sweeter touch, add a splash of orange or apple juice. If you want a creamier feel, a dollop of yogurt or coconut milk can be blended in, too.
Sweetener: Honey or agave syrup adds natural sweetness. I suggest starting with a small amount and adjusting. If you like it less sweet, maple syrup or a few drops of stevia are good options.
How do I blend the juice smoothly without chunks?
Start by adding liquid first to your blender — it helps everything blend more evenly. Next, add the fruit, then blend on low to break things up before increasing speed. If it’s too thick, add a little more water and blend again until smooth.
- Check the texture and stop blending once the juice is evenly smooth.
- If chunks remain, pause, scrape down the sides, and blend again.
- For a very smooth drink, strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth after blending.
