This Mango Pineapple Smoothie is a refreshing drink with sweet mango and pineapple blended with ice and a splash of juice or milk. It’s perfect for a quick, fruity treat any time of day.
I love making this because it reminds me of tropical vacations, even when I’m just at home. Sometimes I add a little coconut for extra fun!
If you want it creamy, toss in a spoonful of yogurt. It makes the smoothie thicker and even more delicious!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Mango: The sweet, creamy mango is the star here. I find frozen mango works great and saves prep time. If fresh isn’t available, frozen mango is a perfect swap—just adjust the liquid slightly if it’s thick.
Pineapple: Fresh or frozen pineapple adds a tangy zest. I prefer frozen for convenience, but fresh works just as well. If you want a milder flavor, reduce the pineapple a bit and add more mango.
Banana: Ripe banana gives creaminess and natural sweetness. Using a ripe banana makes the smoothie richer. If you’re out, a splash of yogurt or extra mango can help mimic the texture.
Liquid (juice or milk): I usually pick coconut water or orange juice for extra flavor. Almond milk is a good non-dairy option. Adjust amount based on how thick or thin you like your smoothie.
Optional sweetener: Honey or agave syrup can boost sweetness if needed. I suggest starting small—you can always add more. For a natural boost, a splash of orange juice works well.
How do I blend a smooth, frosty smoothie without overloading my blender?
I find layering ingredients helps. Start with liquid, then add frozen fruit on top. Blend in short bursts to prevent overload. If your blender is struggling, pause and shake or stir ingredients, then continue blending until smooth.
- Step 1: Pour liquid into the blender to help the blades move easily.
- Step 2: Add frozen fruit on top of the liquid, not too full.
- Step 3: Blend in short bursts, stopping to scrape down sides if needed.
- Step 4: Continue blending until the mixture is smooth and frosty.
