    Mango Pineapple Smoothie is the perfect way to enjoy fresh fruit.  Smoothies are my go-to drinks when I want something refreshing and filling for my family without compromising our health.  Bonus, only simple ingredients required to make this creamy smoothie.  For breakfast or as an afternoon treat, I love a yummy Bionico Fruit Bowl or this tropical smoothie. 🌴🌞  It never fails to satisfy our cravings.

    Ingredients

    The ingredients needed to make the smoothie labeled and sitting on a marble surface.
    • fresh mango chunks
    • pineapple chunks
    • fresh banana
    • milk
    • ground cinnamon

    The tartness of the pineapple and sweet mango juice create a delicious blend of flavors that make you feel like you’re on a tropical island. And at the same time, provide the vitamin C and other nutrients that your body needs. Try adding a pinch of ground ginger or turmeric for an interesting flavor twist and added health benefits.

    Instructions

    Blending the smoothie ingredients in a food processor.
    • Place all ingredients inside a high-speed blender or food processor.
    • Blend until smooth.
    •  
    Using frozen fruit will give your smoothie a thicker, frostier texture without affecting the flavor.  If it’s too thick, add a splash of orange juice, pineapple juice, even water for thinner consistency.

    Cutting a Mango

    Slice the mango lengthwise along the seed on both sides, then score the flesh in a grid pattern and scoop it out with a spoon.

    Choosing the right fruit

    Choose a pineapple that’s fragrant at the base and slightly yielding to pressure. For mangoes, select ones that yield slightly to pressure and have a sweet smell at the stem.

    Variations

    • Protein Boost: Add a scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder for an energizing post-workout drink.
    • Greek Yogurt: Add a dollop of Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and a boost of probiotics.
    • Chia Seeds: Sprinkle in some chia seeds for added fiber, protein, and Omega-3s. They will make a thicker smoothie.
    • Coconut Water: Swap out the regular water for coconut water to add a tropical twist and extra hydration.
    • Berries: Add a handful of blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries for added antioxidants and a different flavor profile.
    • Spinach or Kale: Blend in some spinach or kale for a green smoothie with added nutrients. The fruity flavors will mask the taste of the greens!
    • Avocado: Blend in half an avocado for a silky texture and a dose of healthy fats.
    • Almond or Oat Milk: Swap the water with your favorite plant-based milk for a creamier, more satisfying smoothie.
    • Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt: Blend in a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt for a decadent treat that resembles more of a dessert.
    • Nuts or Nut Butter: Add a spoonful of almond or peanut butter, or a handful of raw almonds or cashews, for a protein and healthy fat boost.
    • Flaxseeds: Blend in a tablespoon of flaxseeds for a fiber and Omega-3 boost.
    • Cacao Nibs: Sprinkle some cacao nibs on top for a slightly bitter contrast and a bit of crunch.

    FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

    Can I add ice to my smoothie?

    Yes, adding ice will make your smoothie colder and thicker. Just be aware that it may dilute the flavor slightly.

    How can I make this smoothie dairy-free?

    Replace the milk with a plant-based alternative like soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, coconut yogurt, or coconut milk to make your smoothie dairy-free. This type of smoothie is suitable for vegans.

    Can I add sweeteners to this smoothie?

    If your fruits aren’t sweet enough, you can add honey, agave syrup, or another sweetener of your choice.

    What different fruits can I use as a substitute for mango or pineapple?

    You can try using other tropical fruits like papaya or banana as alternatives for mango or pineapple. But then you’re making an entirely different drink.

      I love pineapple, mango smoothies! Though I’ve never thought to add cinnamon or turmeric to them. Great idea! Will give it a try.
