Pineapple Mango Smoothie

If you are looking for a refreshing and healthy drink, indulge in the tropical flavors of this Pineapple Mango Smoothie. You will only need four simple ingredients to make this delicious smoothie that is perfect for a wholesome breakfast or a healthy snack on the go.

The tropical flavors of this Tropical Pineapple Mango Smoothie make me want to be relaxing on a beach somewhere on a tropical island! Someday….but for today, I sit in the comfort of my home and sip this refreshing drink!

This easy smoothie recipe uses just four ingredients, along with water or juice. It blends up easily and can be made in less than 10 minutes. It is made with fresh ingredients and is an easy way to add a big serving of fruit to your healthy breakfast or afternoon snack.

I make smoothies for my family, typically once to twice a week. Sometimes I get on a smoothie kick, and we make them more often. This smoothie is quick and easy to make, not to mention nutritious and delicious!

Ingredients Needed

• Fresh Pineapple Chunks
• Frozen Mango Chunks – If you want to use fresh mango, you can use a frozen banana instead of the fresh banana; you just don’t want to use all frozen fruit, or it will be too thick to drink. A fresh, ripe mango will add a delicious flavor to this healthy smoothie.
• Fresh Banana – If you want to use frozen bananas in your smoothie, use fresh mango.
• Water, Coconut Water, Pineapple Juice, or Orange Juice
• Optional – Ground Flaxseed, Chia Seeds, or Hemp Seeds

When we make smoothies in our house, we don’t often use dairy milk. We are not fans of mixing fruit with milk, so we like to use water or coconut water. If you want to make this smoothie a bit more of a Tropical Smoothie, you can use coconut milk.

This article has a great list of liquid ingredients to add to your smoothies. You can use your favorite non-dairy milk in place of the water if desired – soy milk, almond milk, hemp milk, or oat milk. And if you want to increase the protein, you could add a scoop of protein powder, just be sure to use a plain flavor or vanilla protein powder. You could also add a little bit of Greek yogurt.

We always make sure to add some frozen fruit to our smoothies. Adding frozen fruit chills the smoothie and also makes it thicker, but too much will make it difficult to drink. If you want a thicker smoothie, you can use more frozen fruit.

Equipment Needed

• A High-Speed Blender or Food Processor
• Measuring Cups

How to Make The Smoothies

Making a Pineapple Mango Smoothie is so easy! You will have them made in 5-10 minutes.

First, place the water and frozen mango into your blender. Adding liquid to the bottom of the blender makes it easier for the blender to puree the ingredients, and it doesn’t have to work as hard. Next, add the fresh pineapple, bananas, and ground flaxseed.

Blend until everything is combined.

Serve it right away so that your smoothie will be cold and refreshing!

This easy recipe makes about four cups. When I make it for my family of four, we typically split it for a healthy afternoon snack or as a drink with breakfast.

I like to serve it with egg muffins or sweet mixed berry muffins that I have prepped in advance to make a quick and easy breakfast.

How to Store Leftovers

Have leftovers? Place any leftover smoothie in your refrigerator for up to two days. It might separate or settle, so give it a little stir before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Using frozen fruit along with fresh fruit in your smoothie helps to chill it and make it a little thicker. Want to make it even thicker? Add a cup of ice cubes to the smoothie mix.
• Use those ripened bananas that are sitting in your kitchen for smoothies! Read this article about the health benefits of overripe bananas.
• We like to use ground flaxseed in our smoothies, but chia seeds or hemp seeds are also a great option.
• It is best to serve this smoothie right after making it, as this taste of the tropics tastes best when it is nice and cold.
• If you have any extra, keep it in your refrigerator for up to two days.
• Add a bit of a ripe avocado to add a nice creamy texture to the smoothie.

I would love it if you would follow me on Instagram and Pinterest for all of my recipes.
