This Mango Pineapple Smoothie is a refreshing blend of sweet mango and tangy pineapple. It’s perfect for a quick breakfast or a cool snack on a warm day. Creamy and fruity, it’s loved by many!
I like to add a splash of orange juice for extra citrusy flavor. Sometimes, I toss in a banana for creaminess—my blender sometimes protests, but it’s worth it!
If you want it extra chilled, freeze some fruit pieces ahead of time. No fancy ingredients needed—just blend and enjoy a tropical treat anytime!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Mango: I use ripe mango for natural sweetness and a smooth texture. If fresh mango isn’t available, frozen works great and makes the smoothie extra chilly. Look for mango that smells sweet and is slightly soft to pick a good one.
Pineapple: Fresh or frozen pineapple adds a bright, tangy flavor. Frozen pineapple makes the smoothie thicker and colder. If fresh isn’t on hand, canned pineapple (drained well) works as a quick substitute.
Banana: A ripe banana makes the smoothie creamy and smooth. If you don’t have banana, avocado can add a similar velvety feel. Fresh or frozen bananas are both fine; just ensure they’re ripe for best flavor.
Greek Yogurt: This adds creaminess and a slight tang. Use regular yogurt or plant-based options like coconut or almond yogurt if you prefer. For fewer calories, choose low-fat or non-fat versions.
Liquid (juice, water, or milk): I prefer coconut water for added tropical flavor, but milk or fruit juice works well. Adjust the amount depending on how thick you want your smoothie—less for thicker, more for thinner.
How do I blend the smoothie smoothly without clumps?
Start by adding liquids to the blender first, then add fruits. This helps everything blend evenly. Blend on low, gradually increasing speed. If needed, stop and stir or shake the blender to break up stuck pieces. Add more liquid if it’s too thick.
- 1. Place liquids in the blender first, then add fruits on top.
- 2. Cover and blend on low speed, then increase to high slowly.
- 3. Stop and stir if blending stalls or clumps form.
- 4. Keep blending until smooth, adding more liquid if needed.
