A Pineapple Mango Smoothie is a refreshing and tropical drink that’s easy to make. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mango chunks
- 1 banana (adds creaminess)
- 1 cup coconut water (or any preferred liquid like almond milk, orange juice, or plain water)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for added creaminess and protein)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- Ice cubes (optional, if using fresh fruit and want a colder smoothie)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: If you’re using fresh pineapple and mango, cut them into chunks. Peel the banana.
- Blend: In a blender, add the pineapple chunks, mango chunks, banana, and coconut water.
- Add Yogurt and Sweetener: If you’re using Greek yogurt and/or honey, add them to the blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add more liquid (coconut water, almond milk, etc.) until you reach the desired consistency.
- Add Ice (if needed): If you’re using fresh fruit and want a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again until smooth.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Tips:
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie before adding honey or agave syrup. The natural sweetness of the fruit might be enough.
- Make it Green: Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green smoothie. The taste of the greens is usually masked by the fruit.
- Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder if you’re looking to increase your protein intake.
- Garnish: Garnish with a slice of pineapple or mango on the rim of the glass or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a tropical touch.
Enjoy your homemade Pineapple Mango Smoothie!
