I loooooove smoothies! And in summer, putting mango into smoothies is not only my preference, I feel like it should be mandatory! You don’t get tropical notes without a blend of mango and coconut. I usually make my Mango Spinach Smoothie, Mango Protein Smoothie, or Mango Pineapple Smoothie, but I wanted something different! This Mango Pineapple Smoothie is one of these simple mango smoothie recipes that you can have every day for breakfast or to snack on in the afternoon. It’s a creamy, thick, and fruity smoothie that is also a fulfilling and low-calorie snack.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Here you will need:
Frozen Banana – Don’t add too much banana as it can be overpowering. Frozen Mango Chunks – This is the best frozen fruit to also add a creamy texture to smoothies. Fresh Pineapple – Frozen pineapple works as well but it won’t deliver the same flavor. If you do use frozen, reduce the number of ice cubes and increase the liquid or the smoothie won’t blend properly. Coconut Milk – Coconut milk gives the best tropical flavor but any non-dairy milk work. Ice Cubes
Optional Add-Ons
Now, pick some of the below flavors to add some fun to your Mango Pineapple Smoothie. The best add-ons are:
Rolled Oats – for a breakfast smoothie, add one tablespoon of oats. Chia Seeds – for a boost of protein or fiber add 1 teaspoon. Greek Yogurt – add 1/4 cup of any yogurt you like for a boost of protein and creamy texture. Greek coconut yogurt is dairy-free and a great dairy-free alternative that we love. Vanilla yogurt is a delicious option too to add sweetness and vanilla hint to the smoothie drink. Sweetener – If you have a strong sweet tooth, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of maple syrup. Fresh Mint Leaves Pinch of Cinnamon or cardamom to spice things up!
How To Make Mango Pineapple Smoothie
It’s very easy to make any smoothie, but what makes the difference between a simple smoothie and a tasty smoothie is the ratio of each ingredient. To make this smoothie, simply add all the ingredients to a blender and blend on the high-speed setting until creamy and thick.
Adjusting The Texture
We all have different expectations when it comes to smoothie texture. Some people love it ultra-thick – as this recipe delivers – or thinner.
To thin out a smoothie – add more milk, water, or any juice like orange juice or lemon juice. To thicken a smoothie – add more ice cubes for a frothy texture or seeds or more frozen fruit for a texture similar to a smoothie bowl.
Serving
You can serve this Mango Pineapple Smoothie as a breakfast smoothie or snack, plain in a glass or in a bowl with some toppings like:
Homemade peanut butter granola Shredded coconut or toasted coconut flakes Sliced almonds Grain-free granola A drizzle of peanut butter or cashew butter
