Ingredients for mango pineapple smoothies
Full list of ingredients with quantities is located in the recipe card.
You’ll need:
- Frozen pineappleย
- Frozen mangoย
- Yogurt -I recommend using plain yogurt, but you can use flavored if you like. Keep in mind that flavored yogurts have added sugar, so you’ll want to omit adding honey.
- Milk -Use whatever milk you have on hand. If you’re using a milk alternative, I recommend unflavored.
- Honey (optional)
If you want to use fresh fruit in this recipe, add a handful or two of ice to get the smoothie nice and cold!
How to make this recipe
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and place the lid.
Blend until smooth, starting at lower speed and gradually increasing to ensure the fruit is fully blended.
If your mixture stops blending, you need to add more liquid. Add about 1/4 cup at a time so you don’t end up with too much!
Taste the blended smoothie and add honey or other sweetener as desired.
Pour into two glasses and serve!
Recipe suggestions
You can easily swap in fresh fruit for the frozen in this recipe. It won’t be as cold, so make sure to add a few ice cubes not only to chill the smoothie, but also to help create the creamy texture.
I don’t always add honey to my smoothies because I love the taste of just the fruit and yogurt, but if you want other sweetener options you can try maple syrup or agave nectar.
You can also swap the milk for orange juice. Use almond or coconut milk, or try a vanilla nondairy milk to add sweetness.
Don’t like yogurt? Swap in a banana.
Vanilla protein powder is also a good add-in, or you can try using chia seeds or hemp seeds for added nutrition. Keep in mind that the seeds tend to not blend fully.
This mango pineapple smoothie is a great option for a fast breakfast or an energizing afternoon snack. Give my blueberry oatmeal smoothie a try too!
