Mango Pineapple Smoothie

Mango pineapple smoothie always makes me think of my last beach vacation because I remember waking up early to catch the sunrise and sipping on a fruity, ice-cold drink that felt like pure sunshine in a glass and it was sweet, tropical, and so refreshing and I came home determined to recreate that same feeling in my own kitchen and it turned out to be easier and even more delicious than I expected.

Ever since then, I’ve loved blending this smoothie whenever I need a quick escape to a tropical paradise and the bright, juicy mango and tangy pineapple come together perfectly and it’s like a mini vacation in each sip and now it’s my favorite go-to when I want something cheerful and energizing to start the day.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Mango – Adds natural sweetness, creamy texture, and that beautiful bright color.
• Pineapple – Brings a tangy, tropical burst that balances the mango perfectly.
• Banana – Makes the smoothie extra creamy and adds gentle sweetness.
• Coconut milk – Gives it a rich, velvety finish and enhances the tropical vibe.
• Greek yogurt – Adds creaminess and a protein boost to keep you satisfied.
• Honey or maple syrup – Optional for a touch of extra sweetness if needed.
• Ice cubes – Helps make the smoothie cold and frosty.

Tools You’ll Need

• Blender – Essential for breaking down the fruit and creating that smooth, creamy texture.
• Cutting board – For chopping mango, pineapple, and banana safely.
• Sharp knife – To peel and dice your fruits easily.
• Measuring cups – To keep your ingredients balanced for the perfect flavor.
• Glasses – For serving your smoothie in a fun, inviting way.
• Straw or spoon – To enjoy every sip (or scoop) of your smoothie.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the fruits

I start by peeling and chopping the mango, pineapple, and banana into small pieces to make blending easier and smoother.

Step 2: Add to blender

I add the chopped mango, pineapple, and banana to my blender along with coconut milk, Greek yogurt, and a few ice cubes.

Step 3: Blend

I blend everything on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides if needed. If I want a thinner texture, I add a splash more coconut milk.

Step 4: Taste and adjust

I taste the smoothie and, if I want it sweeter, I add a little honey or maple syrup and blend again briefly to incorporate.

Step 5: Serve

I pour the smoothie into glasses and top with shredded coconut or a pineapple wedge for a fun, tropical touch.

Tips

If I want an extra cold and thick smoothie, I use frozen mango or pineapple chunks instead of fresh. I also love adding a handful of spinach for a hidden boost of greens or a scoop of protein powder for a more filling option. For a lighter version, you can swap coconut milk for almond milk or just use water.

Ways to Serve

I love serving this smoothie as a quick breakfast on busy mornings or as a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up. It’s also great poured into popsicle molds for a frozen treat or enjoyed as a smoothie bowl with toppings like granola, chia seeds, and fresh fruit.
