Mango Pineapple Smoothie

This Mango Pineapple Smoothie is perfectly creamy with just 5 ingredients! It’s light and fresh and is like a cup of sunshine.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love smoothies, especially the color and flavor of this pineapple mango smoothie. It reminds me of sunshine and makes me feel like I’m on a tropical vacation.

I don’t usually follow a recipe when I make smoothies. I typically toss whatever frozen fruit and smoothie add-ins I have on hand in a blender, then taste and adjust as needed. When I tried this simple combo, I knew I had to share it!

It’s easy to make in just 5 minutes with only a handful of ingredients. It’s super customizable, so adjusting to your taste preferences and dietary needs is easy.

Ingredients

• Mango: Frozen mango chunks are a must in this smoothie. If you want to use a fresh mango, peel, core, and slice it. Then, freeze it the night before using it. Read more about how to cut a mango.
• Pineapple: Frozen pineapple chunks are also a must! Same with the mango, you can use fresh if you cut it into chunks, then freeze it the night before using it. Read more info on how to cut a pineapple.
• Greek Yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt for a boost of protein and creaminess. Use a plant-based yogurt to make it dairy-free.
• Milk: Use your favorite kind of milk. I like to use 2% dairy milk. Almond milk or oat milk are great plant-based options. For an extra tropical flavor, you can use coconut milk.
• Honey: Add honey or pure maple syrup for some added natural sweetness. This is entirely optional.

How to Make a Mango Pineapple Smoothie

1. Place the mango, pineapple, greek yogurt, milk, and honey or maple syrup in a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth.
2. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Variations

• Make it extra creamy with a banana. Toss a small or half a large banana for a more fruity flavor and creamy texture.
• Add more protein. Add a tablespoon of unflavored or vanilla protein powder for a big protein boost.
• Give it a burst of flavor. Make it citrusy by swapping out half of the milk for orange juice. For a smoother, sweeter flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract. Fresh ginger would also be a great mix-in with these flavors!
• Make it a green smoothie. Blend in a handful of fresh baby spinach or kale. Try this Mango Spinach Smoothie.
• Add some oats. To add whole grains, add 1/4 cup of quick oats.
• Include your favorite smoothie mix-ins. Get creative when including your favorite smoothie mix-ins. I sometimes love adding flaxseed meal, chia seeds, frozen cauliflower, or nut butter. 

Serving Suggestions

This Mango Pineapple Smoothie is the perfect afternoon snack! It’s an amazing pick-me-up during that 3:00 slump.

It’s also great to pair with your breakfast. Serve it with eggs and whole grain toast for a complete meal.

Want to drink it after a workout? Add a tablespoon of unflavored or vanilla protein powder for that extra boost.

And of course, you could use less milk and serve it as a smoothie bowl. Add your favorite toppings like shredded coconut, fresh fruit, and sliced almonds.

Make Ahead and Storage

I don’t recommend making smoothies ahead of time or storing them. They’re best served right away since the blended ingredients separate over time.
